Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Westerlo

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 go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from BRU to Westerlo

Westerlo lies 56 km (35 miles) from the airport, and the typical driving time is 49 minutes. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues northeast towards the province of Antwerp, ending in the Kempen region. Most of the way is on main roads, so the trip is straightforward and you can relax after your flight.

Traffic around Brussels is heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and the stretch near the airport can slow down at those times. If you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a connection to catch, add a buffer to the 49 minutes. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like every other route we cover.

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 business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for teams, sports clubs and mid-sized tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: cover big groups, company events and coach-style arrivals.

If you carry bulky items such as golf bags, bicycles or musical instruments, pick a vehicle one size up so everything fits comfortably.

About Westerlo

Westerlo is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, in the Kempen region of Flanders. It is known for its green surroundings, with woodland and countryside close to the town centre, and for the De Merode castle estate. The area attracts visitors who want a quiet base outside the large cities, as well as people travelling for local events or family visits. Because the town is spread out, give your driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off goes smoothly.
