Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Estinnes-au-Val

The drive from Zaventem to Estinnes-au-Val

The route covers 75 km (47 miles) and typically takes about 56 minutes. You leave the Brussels airport area and head south-west into the province of Hainaut. The last stretch runs on smaller regional roads. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so your driver will plan it for your date and arrival time.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, as the ring road is often busy then. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add minutes. If you have a connection or appointment after arrival, build in a small buffer.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It comes in a 1-3 passenger and a 1-4 passenger version, so check the count including children before you book.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats for wedding parties, family gatherings, school groups and other bigger events

If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, consider going one size up so that everyone has room.

About Estinnes-au-Val

Estinnes-au-Val is a village in the municipality of Estinnes, in the French-speaking province of Hainaut in Wallonia. It is a quiet, rural area of farmland and small villages, far from the bustle of Brussels. Because public addresses can be hard to find on a map in places like this, it helps to have the full street name and house number ready for your driver, so the drop-off goes smoothly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there straight from baggage reclaim.
