Brussels Airport sits in Zaventem, just north-east of Brussels, and is the largest airport in Belgium. Travellers from Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia use it for city breaks, business trips and long-haul holidays. With an early check-in or a lot of luggage, an airport taxi is often the easiest way to get there.

On Offerly you describe your trip once: pick-up address, date and time, passengers and suitcases. Taxi firms, private drivers and minibus companies within 50 km of your departure or arrival address receive the request and send an offer. You compare price, vehicle and payment method, then choose the one you like best.

Requesting and comparing is free and without obligation. No account is needed: you get an email with a personal link to your offers. You pay the chosen company directly, and only that company sees your name, email and phone number.

Good to know about Brussels Airport

Close to Brussels and Leuven

From central Brussels it is about 15 km, roughly 20 minutes without traffic. Leuven (24 km) and Mechelen (22 km) are close too. The Brussels Ring can be very slow at rush hour, though, so leave some margin for your airport transfer, especially on weekday mornings and busy holiday departure days.

Picked up after landing

Being collected at Zaventem? Add your flight number so the company can see which flight you are on. Use the extra info field to agree where to meet, for example in the arrivals hall after baggage reclaim. After a long journey you can walk straight to your driver instead of searching.

Families and groups

Travelling with five or more people? Choose a van. From nine people, ask for a minibus. Enter the number of suitcases and add child seats, golf bags or a pet. That way you only get offers from companies that genuinely have room for your whole group and all of its luggage.
