Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Basse-Wavre

The drive from Brussels Airport to Basse-Wavre

The journey from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Basse-Wavre covers 33 km (20 miles) and normally takes about 28 minutes. It is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the best way to the address you give us. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is wise to allow some extra time if you have a meeting, an appointment or an event to reach on arrival. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add minutes, and a driver who knows the area will take that into account.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mostly on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing. For individual travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: there is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4. If you travel with several suitcases or with children's equipment, it is worth thinking about a larger vehicle.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for groups of up to 8 passengers with luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: for larger families, teams or business groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for big parties, wedding guests or organised group travel.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the next one up. Extra space is more comfortable than a tight fit.

About Basse-Wavre

Basse-Wavre is a village that forms part of the municipality of Wavre, the main town of the province of Walloon Brabant. The area is French-speaking and mostly residential, with a quieter feel than central Brussels. Because the village is small, it helps to give your driver the full street address or a clear landmark. That makes the final stretch of the trip straightforward, particularly if you are arriving after a long flight.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head there without having to search the terminal.
