Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vlekkem

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from BRU to Vlekkem

The route covers 46 km (29 miles) and typically takes about 33 minutes. Vlekkem lies west of the airport, so the journey crosses the Brussels region and its ring road before continuing into East Flanders. The ring road is the part most affected by traffic. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, allow some extra time, especially if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make at the other end. Outside those hours the drive is usually smooth and uncomplicated.

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver takes you straight to your address without stops or transfers.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for wedding parties, company groups, clubs and other larger parties arriving together.

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle and carrying a lot of luggage, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room.

About Vlekkem

Vlekkem is a small village in the Flemish countryside of East Flanders, part of the municipality of Erpe-Mere. It is a quiet, residential place rather than a tourist hub, so most visitors arrive to see family, attend a local event or reach a nearby business. A private transfer is a practical option here, since the surrounding area is far less well served than the main Belgian cities. Please give the driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off goes smoothly.
