Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zillebeke

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to Java Coffee House, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign. Once you have found each other, the walk to the car is short.

The Drive to Zillebeke

The route covers 131 km (82 miles) and usually takes 1 h 24 m. You leave the Brussels area and head west through Flanders towards the countryside around Ypres. Zillebeke is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is arranged on request just like any other. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so allow some buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a tight check-in time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with seats for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Check the luggage you are bringing when you have four people. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits school trips, battlefield tour groups, wedding guests and corporate parties who want to arrive together. Pick the size that leaves room for suitcases as well as passengers.
