Bruges looks effortless once you’re standing on the Markt. Getting there from the airport is the awkward part. The train means a change at Brussels or Ghent, bags in hand, then a long walk into the old town.
A private Zaventem airport shuttle removes all of that. You land, your driver is waiting, and the next stop is your hotel. Mac Private Chauffeur runs this route week after week.

Zaventem Airport Shuttle to Bruges
Bruges sits about 100 km from the airport. Allow around 1 hour 30 minutes on the E40, more on a Friday evening or a holiday weekend. A driver who spots the slowdown early can change lanes or route before you feel it.
Fixed & Transparent Pricing
Your price depends on the journey, the distance, and the vehicle you choose. Get an Instant Online Quote through our booking system, and you’ll see the actual price before you book. The figure is confirmed before you set off, and it stays put.
Every booking includes:
- Live flight tracking, so a late landing never strands you
- Meet & Greet in arrivals, with your name on a sign
- A fixed price agreed in advance
- A private vehicle, never a shared minibus
That is what makes it better than a standard taxi. You know the cost, the car, and the driver before you land.
Reaching Your Hotel in Old Bruges
The historic centre restricts traffic, and many hotels sit on narrow canal streets. Our chauffeurs know which entrances are open and where luggage can be unloaded safely.
When a door-to-door drop isn’t possible, we stop at the closest legal point and tell you beforehand. No surprises, no dragging cases over cobbles.
Our Fleet: Mercedes S-Class, E-Class and V-Class
Words like “sedan” and “minivan” tell you very little. Here is what actually arrives.
The Mercedes S-Class suits executives and anyone wanting the quietest ride. The Mercedes E-Class covers most airport transfers, including the majority of Bruges runs. The Mercedes V-Class takes families, groups and heavy luggage.
Luxury Hotels We Serve
Concierge desks in Bruges and Brussels recognise our drivers. That came from years of turning up on time, not from asking.

- Hotel de Tuilerieën, on a Bruges canal
- Dukes’ Palace Bruges, near the Markt

Beyond the Airport Transfer
Most of our Bruges bookings start at Zaventem, but the same fleet and drivers also look after wedding transportation in Bruges, executive and corporate travel, and event transfers such as Tomorrowland and the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. Discretion is part of driver training, not an add-on. If you need any of these, just ask when you request your quote.
National and International Coverage
Beyond Bruges, we regularly serve Antwerp, Ghent, Liège, Waterloo, Leuven and Mons, and we can arrange longer journeys to Paris, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Barcelona and Madrid through one contact.
Check live arrivals on the Brussels Airport website before you leave, and we’ll track the flight from our side too.

Roughly 100 km by road. Most drives take close to 90 minutes, though a Friday evening on the E40 can add a good chunk.
What is the best way to get from Brussels Airport to Bruges?
For most people, a private car. No changing trains in Brussels or Ghent, no hauling cases through stations, and you’re dropped near your hotel instead of a kilometre away.
How much is a taxi from Brussels Airport to Bruges?
Our pricing is fixed & transparent. The exact fare depends on your journey, the distance, and the Mercedes you pick, and our booking system shows it when you get an instant online quote, before you leave home.
Is there a shuttle from Brussels Airport to Bruges?
Yes, and it’s private. Book any hour of the day, and your driver meets you in arrivals with flight tracking already running. Nobody else shares the car.
Can you take a car into the centre of Bruges?
Only in part. Some streets are restricted, so your chauffeur uses the nearest permitted drop-off and tells you in advance.
Which Mercedes do you use?
Three models: the S-Class, E-Class and V-Class. Solo executives usually pick the S-Class, couples the E-Class, and anyone with a big group or a lot of luggage the V-Class.
