Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Zonhoven

The drive from Brussels Airport to Zonhoven

The route covers 80 km (50 miles) and typically takes 52 minutes by road. You travel east from Zaventem into the province of Limburg, mostly on motorway, so the journey is straightforward and needs no changes or station transfers. Zonhoven is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with four people and luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats: up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats: up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats: up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats: up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats: up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats: up to 48 passengers

Minibuses suit family gatherings, sports teams, company groups and anyone with a lot of luggage, because everyone arrives together in one vehicle.
