Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Auneau

The drive from Brussels Airport to Auneau

The route covers 387 km (241 miles), and the typical driving time is 4 h 10 m. That is a long single leg, so a private transfer suits travellers who want to go straight to the destination without changing vehicles. Auneau is not a frequently booked destination, so this transfer is arranged on request. Allow extra time if you travel on a Friday afternoon, at the start or end of school holidays, or in heavy rain, since traffic around large cities along the way can add delays. Over four hours, it is also worth planning a short comfort stop with your driver.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): for individual travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats: for larger families, friends travelling together or small teams with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour groups, wedding parties, sports teams and company events.

If you carry bulky items such as golf bags, strollers or several large suitcases, choose the next size up for a more comfortable journey.

Auneau and where to stay

Auneau is a small town in the Eure-et-Loir area, in the countryside not far from Chartres. It is a quiet base rather than a major tourist destination, and most visitors come to see family, work locally or explore the surrounding region. I cannot name long-established hotels in Auneau itself with confidence, so here are well-known options in the nearest larger town, Chartres:

• Le Grand Monarque, a traditional hotel in the centre of Chartres.
• Mercure Chartres Cathédrale, close to the famous cathedral.
