The Drive to Gare du Midi

The route covers 17 km (11 miles) and usually takes around 25 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Most of the journey follows the main roads from Zaventem into the capital, and the last stretch runs through the busy streets of Saint-Gilles and Anderlecht near the station. Allow extra time during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic into central Brussels slows noticeably, and on days with events or roadworks in the city.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.

If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for extra room.
