Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Dunkerque

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 head there straight away and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Dunkerque

The route covers 166 km (104 miles) and typically takes 1 h 47 m. Most of it is motorway, crossing from Belgium into northern France. Dunkerque is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or on busy holiday weekends when traffic towards the coast builds up. Since the journey takes close to two hours, it helps to plan any ferry check-in, hotel arrival or business appointment with a comfortable margin. Carry a valid passport or ID card, as you are crossing an international border.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suitable for individuals, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: up to 8 passengers, a good fit for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for teams, clubs and mid-sized groups travelling together.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour parties, school trips and large delegations of up to 48 people.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, or travelling with bulky luggage such as sports equipment, it is sensible to choose the next size up.

About Dunkerque

Dunkerque (Dunkirk) is a port city on the North Sea coast of northern France, close to the Belgian border. It is widely known for its role in the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops, and today it combines a working harbour with a long sandy beach at Malo-les-Bains. The city is also known for its annual carnival, and its maritime history is a big part of its identity. Visitors usually come for the seafront, the museums and the war history of the area, or to continue by ferry. A private transfer takes you from the airport directly to your address in the city, without the connections that a journey by public transport would involve.
