Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zellik

The drive from BRU to Zellik

Zellik lies 19 km (12 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes about 18 minutes. It is a route that is booked only occasionally, so a pre-arranged private transfer is a practical way to get there without working out connections yourself. Your driver takes care of the route, and you can use the journey to settle in after your flight.

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.

When to allow extra time

The 18-minute estimate applies to normal traffic conditions. The roads around Brussels can get busy during the morning and evening rush hours, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connecting journey after arrival. For the return trip to the airport, leaving earlier than strictly necessary takes the pressure off check-in and security.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families fit comfortably in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups can choose a private minibus, starting with the 8-seat version and going up to 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats. The bigger vehicles suit business teams, school groups, sports clubs and wedding parties who want to arrive together. Pick a vehicle based on both passenger numbers and the amount of luggage you are bringing.

Zellik as a destination

Zellik is a village in the municipality of Asse in Flemish Brabant, on the western edge of the Brussels area. It is mostly residential and sits close to the Brussels ring road, which makes it a convenient base for visits to the capital as well as for trips to the surrounding Flemish countryside.
