Helicro runs private 8-seat minivan transfers to Rock Werchter at Festivalpark Werchter (Rotselaar) from Brussels Airport (25 km, 25–40 min), Brussels city (35 km, 35–50 min) and Charleroi Airport (95 km, 75–90 min), at one fixed price per vehicle with a guaranteed late-night return.
Rock Werchter takes place in early July. Four days, roughly 90,000 visitors a day; the festival bus queues at Leuven station are longest after the headliners. A pre-booked private transfer means your group leaves the airport or hotel together, arrives at the drop-off zone with all its gear, and has a driver on call for the ride back at the hour you choose.
Every ride is driven by Gerasimos or a licensed Helicro driver with more than 30 years of accident-free driving in Belgium. The price is fixed per minivan, not per person, and the same after midnight as at noon, so eight friends split one number instead of paying surge prices on an app.
Getting to Rock Werchter: distances and timings
Typical driving times outside festival congestion. On arrival and departure peaks around the site, add 20 to 40 minutes; your driver monitors police diversions and picks the least congested access road.

| Brussels city centre | 35 km | 35–50 min |

Fixed prices for Rock Werchter transfers
Festival transfers are quoted as a fixed amount per minivan for up to 8 passengers, confirmed in writing. For reference, the standard Brussels city to Brussels Airport rate is 35€ to 55€ and Brussels to Charleroi 65€ to 160€ per vehicle; festival runs from the same origins are priced on the same basis with no night or event surcharge. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and include VAT, luggage and child seats.
Meeting your driver after the festival
Before drop-off, your driver agrees a precise return meeting point with you: a named car park, a road junction outside the police cordon or a nearby fuel station, plus the pickup time. Phone or WhatsApp works at the site, and the driver waits for late-running headliners at no extra charge within the agreed window.

What if the last act finishes late?
Your driver stays on call and adjusts the pickup within the agreed window at no extra charge. Because the price is fixed per vehicle, there is no surge or waiting meter running.
