Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Estaimbourg

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Estaimbourg

Estaimbourg lies 123 km (77 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 1 h 24 m. The route heads west across Belgium towards the French border, so it is a real cross-country journey rather than a short hop. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in poor weather, as the first part of the trip is the busiest. Your driver monitors the road and picks the sensible way through.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with a choice between a 1-3 passenger and a 1-4 passenger car. Larger parties are better off in a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or a family with plenty of luggage, and the 16-seat version works for bigger parties. For wedding guests, company groups or organised events, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick the size by counting both passengers and bags, since a full car with suitcases gets cramped on a drive of well over an hour.

About Estaimbourg

Estaimbourg is a small village in the province of Hainaut, part of the municipality of Estaimpuis. It sits in the rural west of Belgium, close to the French border and not far from Tournai and Mouscron. Expect a quiet, mostly agricultural landscape rather than a busy tourist centre. Because it is a village, it is worth keeping the exact street address handy so your driver can take you right to the door.
