Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ecaussinnes-Lalaing

The drive from BRU to Ecaussinnes-Lalaing

The route covers 58 km (37 miles) and typically takes about 46 minutes. Most of the journey leads you south-west, away from the airport and across the Brussels ring area into the Hainaut countryside. The ring road is the part most likely to slow you down. On weekday mornings and late afternoons it is worth allowing extra time, especially if you have a fixed appointment or a connection waiting at the other end.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so you can arrange it ahead of your arrival.

Which vehicle suits your group

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people and how many bags are travelling.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with plenty of luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for wedding parties, sports teams and mid-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as coach-style event travel or company outings.

If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one when you have bulky luggage such as instruments, sports gear or several suitcases per person.
