Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Esquelmes

The drive from Brussels Airport to Esquelmes

Esquelmes lies 125 km (78 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes around 1 h 27 m. The route heads west across Belgium towards the Hainaut countryside, so most of the trip is on motorway before the final stretch on smaller local roads. This is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request just like any other, and the driver plans the trip specifically for your arrival.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels are at their busiest. Roadworks and bad weather can also add minutes, particularly on the last rural kilometres into the village. If you have a fixed appointment or a dinner reservation, it is sensible to leave a little margin.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version seats up to 3 passengers and another up to 4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which keeps everyone together on the 125 km ride instead of splitting across several cars.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: 8-seat minibus
• 9-16 passengers: 16-seat minibus
• 17-48 passengers: minibus with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, depending on group size

If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, consider going up one size so that bags and passengers fit comfortably.
