Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wakken

The Drive from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Wakken

The route between Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) and Wakken covers 661 km (411 miles), and the typical driving time is 6 h 45 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. A journey of this length is a long haul by road, so it helps to plan a little extra time. Heavy traffic around busy periods, roadworks or poor weather can add to the total, and a driver may need a short break along the way.

Because the transfer is private, you travel directly from the airport without changing vehicles or following a shared timetable. That is a real advantage after a flight, especially if you are carrying heavy luggage or travelling with children.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on your group size and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to individual travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats: a good fit for larger families, friends travelling together or small business teams.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for tour groups, clubs, school parties and event delegations of up to 48 passengers.

On a drive of almost seven hours, a little extra space makes a difference. If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle, choosing the next size up gives everyone more comfort and room for bags.
