The Drive to Cambrai

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Cambrai covers 150 km (94 miles) and typically takes 1 h 44 m. You cross the Belgian-French border along the way, so keep your passport or ID card within reach in your hand luggage. Traffic around the Brussels ring road is the main variable, so allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons. Cambrai is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Sending your arrival details in advance helps the driver plan the trip.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A private taxi suits one to four passengers with normal luggage. Larger parties can choose a minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, each available for any group size up to its capacity. The bigger vehicles work well for business delegations, sports teams, wedding guests, battlefield tour groups or families travelling with plenty of bags. If you are unsure, pick the next size up for extra luggage space on a trip of nearly two hours.
