When should you leave for Zaventem?
For a flight within Europe, aim to be at the airport about two hours before take-off; for a long-haul flight, about three hours. Your Zaventem taxi is planned from your flight time, the distance and the usual traffic at that time of day.
Example: from central Brussels, for a European flight at 9 am, a pick-up around 6:15 am leaves a comfortable margin, even if the ring road is busy.
Arrivals: where does the driver meet you?
Give us your flight number when booking. Your driver follows the landing, then waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. If your luggage takes a while, the driver waits: waiting caused by a flight delay is included in the price.
You then walk together to the car parked nearby, without queuing at the taxi rank.
Zaventem taxi prices
