Machelen → BRU · Gemeentehuis Machelen, Woluwestraat 1, 1830 Machelen, BelgiumFrom €40.00Eco, one-way journey, per vehicle. The exact fare depends on your pickup and destination addresses.
For an airport departure from Machelen or Diegem, first establish which building you are leaving. A business address, a hotel reception and a home in the same municipality require different pickup instructions. Machelen uses 1830 and Diegem 1831 in the references below. Keep that locality detail, especially when a company invitation uses only Brussels Airport as a description of its area. Your taxi request should identify the door, not the marketing name of the business district.

Pickup landmarks and neighborhoods
Woluwestraat and Vilvoordelaan identify municipal and library addresses in Machelen. Kosterstraat is the Diegem library reference, while the Bosveld sports hall uses Heirbaan. These are separate surroundings. For a company campus, add a building identifier and passenger entrance if the business has several access points; do not substitute a freight gate without checking it.
Machelen town hall
Woluwestraat 1, 1830 Machelen: a useful civic reference, distinct from offices or hotels elsewhere in Diegem.
These are location references, not reserved taxi stands. Agree the exact entrance and a lawful stopping point with dispatch; access restrictions still apply.
Road access to Zaventem
Machelen's mobility study identifies the Ring, Haachtsesteenweg and Woluwelaan around Diegem. Its works information also covers the Leopold III-laan/A201 connection. These joining roads are part of the journey, not just the final terminal access. Consult current municipal works information if a business gives temporary entrance instructions. The route can change; no fixed shortcut through a company site is assumed.
Before a morning flight from a Diegem hotel, distinguish checkout time from the time your party will be ready outside. Ask whether luggage is stored behind reception and whether early breakfast or a company handover must finish first. Use the airline's terminal-arrival recommendation to plan backwards. A nearby airport still requires enough time for those tasks and the terminal procedures after the drive.
If your onward flight leaves from Charleroi, keep Machelen or Diegem as the precise origin and select CRL explicitly. Do not rely on a hotel description mentioning airport transfer to identify the airport. For a work group leaving different offices, nominate one actual meeting address or describe the additional stops separately before a journey is confirmed.
A Vilvoorde departure can start after a meeting in the centre, from a family address in Peutie or from accommodation elsewhere in the city. The airport request must use that real location rather than a generic city-centre pin. For business visitors, check which municipal or cultural building appears on the invitation: the town hall, Mattenkot and Het Bolwerk are separate places. Add the passenger's reachable phone number when a colleague arranges the journey.
This journey starts at an address in Zaventem municipality and finishes at Brussels Airport. It is not an airport-arrival pickup. That distinction matters when a hotel, a meeting invitation or a map result simply says Zaventem. Enter the street and building number where you will actually leave. A departure near De Factorij, a family home in the centre and an address in Sterrebeek are different starting points, even when the final destination is the same terminal.
Before you travel
Frequently asked questions
Does an airport hotel in Diegem count as the terminal?+
No. Enter the hotel street and number, with 1831 Diegem when that is its published address. Describe the passenger entrance, not an airport arrivals meeting point. Checking the hotel confirmation is more reliable than selecting the first map suggestion containing the word airport.
Which library should our family use as the meeting reference?+
Machelen library is on Vilvoordelaan; Diegem library is on Kosterstraat. Use whichever address matches your actual plans and add the number. Neither is a compulsory taxi gathering point. If everyone is staying together, departure from that accommodation may avoid an unnecessary preliminary trip.
What should a team leaving Bosveld tell the driver?+
Use Heirbaan 9, name the hall and specify when everyone has changed and collected equipment. State passenger and luggage needs, including unusually shaped kit. The hall's presence in this guide does not mean a transport partnership or permission to use restricted service access.
