Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Chièvres

The drive from Brussels Airport to Chièvres

Chièvres lies about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Zaventem. The typical driving time is 1 h 1 m. The route leaves the airport area, passes around Brussels and continues towards the province of Hainaut. Outside peak hours the trip is usually smooth. On weekday mornings and late afternoons the Brussels ring road can be busy, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment at the other end, for example at a base gate or a business meeting. Bad weather can also slow things down.

Which vehicle suits your group

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is the simplest choice. It comes in a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so check the luggage you carry before choosing. Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• Minibus 8 Seats: small groups or families with plenty of bags
• Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: teams, delegations and extended families
• Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: large groups, organised events and company travel

Everyone travels together in one vehicle, which avoids splitting up after a long flight.

Chièvres as a destination

Chièvres is a small town in the Walloon province of Hainaut, in a quiet, mostly rural setting. It is best known for Chièvres Air Base, a military airfield used by NATO and US forces, which means many travellers on this route are connected to the base. Beyond that, the area offers a calm village atmosphere, with the larger towns of the region within a short drive. If your destination is a specific address or a base entrance, have the details ready so the driver can plan the final part of the route.
