Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ethe

The drive from Zaventem to Ethe

Ethe lies at the far southern end of Belgium, so this is a long transfer: 343 km (214 miles) with a typical driving time of 3 h 43 m. The route leads away from the Brussels area and crosses much of the country, ending in a quiet, green region far from the capital's traffic. Because the journey starts near a busy city, it is worth allowing extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, on holiday weekends or in wintry weather. A private transfer means the driver handles all of this, and you can rest after your flight instead of working out connections.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so it is best to book ahead rather than arrange it on arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

Vehicle choice depends mainly on group size and luggage. On a drive of almost four hours, comfort matters, so it is worth picking a vehicle with a little spare room.

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) fits a group of four, as long as you are not carrying many large bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats work well for larger families, friends travelling together or small business groups with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover bigger parties such as wedding guests, sports teams, tour groups or company events, all travelling in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up, especially when you have bulky items such as sports equipment or prams.

About Ethe

Ethe is a village in the municipality of Virton, in the Gaume region of Belgian Luxembourg province. It is a rural area of woodland, farmland and small villages, close to the French border, and it feels very different from the Brussels you leave behind. Visitors usually come for the countryside, walks and cycling, or to visit family and friends. Public services are limited in small villages like this, so a door-to-door transfer is a practical way to arrive, particularly late in the evening.

Meeting Point
