Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Cognelée

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Cognelée

The route covers 64 km (40 miles) and typically takes around 43 minutes. Most of the journey is on the motorway heading south-east towards Namur, so it is a straightforward drive. Cognelée is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours, when the roads around Brussels are busiest, or in bad weather.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without any searching.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi: one option takes up to 3 passengers and another up to 4, which suits couples, families and business travellers with standard luggage. For larger parties we offer private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They work well for family gatherings, wedding guests, company teams and groups travelling with extra bags. Choose the size by the total number of passengers and the amount of luggage, and pick the next size up if you are close to the limit.
