We are planning a long stay in Brugge Belgium next spring. Planning to fly SFO-BRU. Can anyone recommend a private car service to meet us at Brussels airport for Brugge?
I know of the easy train ride but after some 30 hours of being awake and having to deal with luggage, I would like to be met and driven.
Thanks.
Just take the train. Where is the problem?

No problem. Just would rather....
It will be in April, early evening.
Thanks, ton, I appreciate the recommendation. I've bookmarked the website.
What kind of a flight are you taking from SFO to equal 30 hours awake? The shortest are 13 hours, nonstop SFO to London or Frankfurt and then on to Brussels. I usually don't sleep much on the plane, but even at 70, the excitement of arrival, along with some good European coffee, helps me power through getting to my final destination, getting checked in, getting settled in and having dinner before I crash.
How much luggage are you bringing to need a private car and driver? If you are going to have a long stay in Bruges, an apartment with a washer and maybe a dryer would be the best option. So you could pack coordinating clothing for one week and do weekly laundry, just like home. The apartment we rented there didn't have laundry facilities, but there was a self-serve laundromat a block away. Easy, peasy.
The direct train from the Brussels airport to Bruges takes 1.5 hours. They run hourly. You can get your ticket at the airport. No need or advantage to getting the ticket early. Having driven in Belgium, it may be faster to take the train than to ride in a car.
You should note that car services from BRU to Antwerp are typically over 100 Euros. Brugge is 2 1/2 times farther than Antwerp.
Tim, I know that it won't be cheap.
Thank you for all of you who responded to my query. We have decided to fly to London, stay a couple of weeks, and then take the train to Bruges. So, there is no need for a car service.
