Brussels Airport (BRU) in Zaventem is only about 12 km from the city centre, but after a long flight the last part of the journey can be the most tiring. Here is a clear comparison of your three main options, so you can choose the one that fits your trip.
1. The train: fast and affordable
The airport train station is located directly below the terminal, and trains run frequently to Brussels-North, Brussels-Central and Brussels-South (Midi) in less than 20 minutes. It is the cheapest option for a solo traveller with light luggage.
Good to know: stations can be crowded at peak hours, and you will still need to walk or take a taxi from the station to your hotel or office, often with your suitcases.
2. The airport taxi: convenient, but no fixed price
Taxis wait outside the arrivals hall. They take you door to door, but the fare runs on the meter: traffic, time of day and your exact destination all change the final price. During rush hour on the motorway between Zaventem and Brussels, the ride can take much longer than expected.
3. A private chauffeur: the stress-free option
With a pre-booked private chauffeur, your driver is waiting for you when you land and takes care of your luggage. You know your price before you travel, and you go straight to your destination in a clean, comfortable car.
- Fixed price confirmed at booking, no meter and no surprises
- Door-to-door service to your hotel, office or home
- Premium comfort for business trips, families and groups
- Space for luggage, with vans for up to 7 passengers
Which option should you choose?
If you travel alone with a small bag and know the city, the train is hard to beat. If you arrive late at night, travel with family or colleagues, carry a lot of luggage or simply want to start your stay without stress, a private chauffeur is the most comfortable choice.
