Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Comines

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search through the terminal.

The Drive from Zaventem to Comines

The journey covers 126 km (79 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 25 m. The route leads west from the airport towards the French border, so the second half of the trip is calmer than the first. Traffic around Brussels can slow the start, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and on Friday evenings. If you have a fixed appointment or a train to catch on arrival, build in some extra time. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the trip around your arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for a larger family or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: well suited to clubs, school or work groups and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large delegations, tour groups and events, keeping everyone together in one vehicle.

For a trip of about an hour and a half, extra space makes the ride more pleasant, so choose the larger option if you are unsure about luggage.

About Comines

Comines belongs to the municipality of Comines-Warneton, in the Hainaut province of Wallonia. It lies directly on the French border along the River Lys, which separates it from its namesake Comines in France. The area is quiet and largely residential, with a mix of small towns and countryside, and it is a convenient base for visiting family, attending local events or continuing on to nearby towns in West Flanders and northern France. Give your driver the exact address when booking so the drop-off is as direct as possible.
