Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bruay-la-Buissière

The drive from Brussels Airport to Bruay-la-Buissière

The route covers 185 km (115 miles) and usually takes about 2 h 2 m. It leads west and south-west from Zaventem, crosses the Belgian-French border and ends in the Pas-de-Calais area of northern France. Bruay-la-Buissière is not a route many travellers book, but it is available on request just like any other. A private transfer means you do not have to plan connections for a destination outside the main tourist corridors.

Traffic around Brussels is the main variable. Weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the first part of the trip, as can roadworks or border-area congestion. If you have a train, ferry or appointment at the other end, build in a comfortable buffer beyond the stated driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers, suitable for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8, with more room for suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats for larger families, teams or organised parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for coach-sized groups such as school trips, clubs or event delegations.

If you are travelling with bulky luggage, sports equipment or pushchairs, choose the next size up so everyone rides comfortably for the full two hours.
