Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Casteau

The drive from Brussels Airport to Casteau

Casteau lies about 80 km (50 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 57 minutes. The route leads south-west out of the Brussels area into the province of Hainaut. Casteau is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. If you arrive during the morning or evening rush hour, or travel on a day with heavy traffic around Brussels, allow some extra time, especially when you have a fixed appointment at the other end.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there once you leave the baggage hall.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and the amount of luggage you carry. For small parties there are two taxi options:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers
• Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers

Larger groups, such as delegations, military teams or families travelling together, can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32, 40 or 48 seats for bigger groups of up to 32, 40 or 48 passengers

If you travel with bulky bags or sports equipment, pick the next size up so everyone rides comfortably over the roughly one-hour journey.

About Casteau

It is best known as the home of SHAPE, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, the military headquarters of NATO’s Allied Command Operations. Many travellers heading here are visiting the base or the surrounding area, so it is worth having the exact address or the name of your destination ready when you book, so the driver can plan the final stretch without delay.
