A private Helicro transfer from any Brussels address to Brussels Airport (Zaventem) costs a fixed 35€ for 1–2 passengers, 45€ for 3–4 and 55€ for 5–8, per vehicle. The 14 km drive takes 20 to 35 minutes outside peak hours, door to Drop-off Area, with luggage and child seats included.
The Brussels to Zaventem run is the most booked transfer in Belgium and the one where a metered taxi, a rideshare surge or a missed Airport Express train hurts the most. Helicro quotes one figure per vehicle, so a couple, a family of four or a group of eight all know exactly what the ride costs before the driver rings the bell.
Every transfer is driven by Gerasimos or a licensed Helicro driver with more than 30 years of accident-free driving in Belgium, in a Ford Transit Custom or Tourneo Custom with room for 8 passengers and 8 large suitcases. The same fixed price applies at 4:00 in the morning and after midnight.

Distance, travel time and traffic
Brussels to Brussels Airport (Zaventem): about 14 km, typically 20 to 35 minutes outside peak hours. The final approach uses the Brussels ring (R0) and the A201 airport spur; roadworks on the ring are frequent, so the driver builds in a buffer on weekday mornings.
