Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Cuesmes

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

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

The Drive from Zaventem to Cuesmes

The route covers 85 km (53 miles) and normally takes about 1 hour. You leave the Brussels area heading southwest towards Hainaut and finish on local roads at the edge of Mons. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring can add noticeable time, as can heavy rain or roadworks, so allow a little extra if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, and a private driver means no changes with luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers. These suit solo travellers, couples, families and business visitors with a normal amount of luggage.

Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats for small groups with extra bags
• 16 and 24 seats for family gatherings, wedding guests or company teams
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for large delegations, tour groups or event parties

Choose the size by the number of passengers and bags, so everyone travels together in one vehicle.

About Cuesmes

Cuesmes lies just southwest of the centre of Mons in the province of Hainaut and is today part of the city of Mons. It is a residential area with a mining past, and it is best known for its link to Vincent van Gogh, who lived here in 1879-80 while working as a lay preacher among the coal miners. Mons itself, with its historic Grand-Place, is only a short ride away, which makes the area a practical base for visiting the region. Give your driver the exact street address when you book, since Cuesmes is a district of a larger city and a precise address avoids any confusion on arrival.
