Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Deux-Acren

The drive from Brussels Airport to Deux-Acren

Deux-Acren lies 72 km (45 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is about 55 minutes. The journey first takes you around Brussels and then out into the quieter countryside of western Hainaut, close to the Flemish border. The Brussels ring road is the main source of delays, so allow extra time if your transfer falls in the morning or late-afternoon rush hour. This is a route booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, with a private driver taking you straight to your address.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so check your luggage against the number of seats before you book. Families with extra bags, or friends travelling together, can move up to the 8-seat minibus.

For weddings, family gatherings, company events or tour groups heading to the area, larger private minibuses are available:

• 16 seats for mid-sized groups
• 24 and 32 seats for larger parties
• 40 and 48 seats for full coach-style groups

Everyone in your party travels together in one vehicle, which keeps arrivals simple when guests land on the same flight.

About Deux-Acren

Deux-Acren is a small village in the municipality of Lessines, in the French-speaking province of Hainaut. The surrounding area is rural, made up of rolling farmland and small villages, and it is generally known as part of the Pays des Collines. Lessines, the nearest town, is known for its historic hospital, the Hôpital Notre-Dame à la Rose, and for its long tradition of porphyry quarrying. Because the village is small, it helps to have the full street address or a nearby landmark ready, so the driver can take you to the exact door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without hunting for your driver.
