Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vliermaal

The drive from Brussels Airport to Vliermaal

Vliermaal lies 92 km (58 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport. The drive typically takes about 1 hour in normal traffic. The route heads east out of the Brussels area into the province of Limburg, and most of it is on motorway. The busiest stretch is the start, around Brussels and Leuven. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, and on days with roadworks or bad weather, it is sensible to allow extra time, especially if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting journey at the other end.

Vliermaal is a less frequently booked destination, so this transfer is arranged on request. It is a private service, so the driver goes straight to your address without stops for other passengers.

Which vehicle suits your group

The vehicle depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, small families and business guests. Choose the larger option if you carry several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, sports teams, wedding parties and company events. Pick the size that matches your headcount, with room for bags.

If you are unsure between two sizes, take the larger one. The extra space makes a one-hour ride more comfortable.

Meeting point at the 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 head there directly after baggage reclaim.
