Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Boussu-Bois

The drive from Brussels Airport to Boussu-Bois

The route covers 93 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 h 7 m by road. You leave the Zaventem area, pass around Brussels and continue southwest into the province of Hainaut. Boussu-Bois is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

The Brussels ring road is the main source of delays. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest times, and roadworks can add to the journey. If you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch or an event to reach, build in a buffer on top of the usual driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, school trips, teams, wedding parties and company events. Seating is available for up to 48 passengers.

If you are close to a vehicle's passenger limit and have a lot of luggage, choose the next size up so everyone travels comfortably.
