The Drive to Avelgem

Avelgem lies 100 km (63 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 13 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and continues west into West Flanders. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Because this route is booked less often than the busiest airport transfers, it is best to reserve in advance so the vehicle is arranged for your arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

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

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.
