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.
Our Bruges transfers start from €140, depending on vehicle, drop-off point and travel time. 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
- The Hotel Amigo in Brussels
- Steigenberger Wiltcher’s, a corporate favourite

Wedding Chauffeur Services in Bruges
Bruges is a favourite wedding backdrop, with canals, chapels and medieval squares within a few minutes of each other. Our wedding chauffeur services look after the bride, the groom and every guest.
We build luxury wedding transportation around your schedule, then check timings with the photographer and venue. Guests landing at Zaventem can travel together in a Mercedes V-Class.
Relatives arriving from Paris, Amsterdam or Madrid? We collect them at the airport and bring them straight to the ceremony. One plan replaces a dozen taxis.
One Standard, From Shuttle to Executive Chauffeur
A shuttle booking today and an executive booking next quarter use the same fleet and the same drivers. There is no lesser tier.
That consistency matters to:
- Law firms, consulting companies and investment firms
- Embassies and diplomatic missions
- EU institutions and NATO-linked organisations
- US and Swiss companies operating in Belgium
- Pharma and healthcare executives
Discretion is part of driver training, not an add-on.
Business and Events Around Bruges
Bruges is not only for tourists. Conferences, retreats and cultural events fill its calendar, and Zeebrugge port brings cruise guests and shipping executives.
We also cover Tomorrowland, the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, corporate seminars and concerts. Book early for peak dates, including Bruges in December.
National and International Coverage
Beyond Bruges, we regularly serve Antwerp, Ghent, Liège, Waterloo, Leuven and Mons. For longer journeys, we arrange transfers to Paris, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Barcelona and Madrid, all through one contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Bruges from Brussels Airport?
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?
Ours start from €140. Where you’re dropped, which Mercedes you pick, and when you travel all nudge the number, but we confirm the exact fare 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.
