Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gerpinnes

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gerpinnes

The journey covers 88 km (55 miles) and typically takes around 1 h 4 m. Most of the route heads south from Zaventem into Wallonia, and the last stretch leaves the main roads for quieter local ones. Gerpinnes is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest. Bad weather can also slow the trip, so a small buffer is wise if you have a connection or appointment waiting at the other end.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without hunting around the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for wedding parties, club trips, and business groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large delegations, tour groups, and big event parties.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when carrying bulky luggage such as sports equipment or several suitcases per person.

About Gerpinnes

Gerpinnes is a municipality in the Hainaut province of Wallonia, in the French-speaking part of Belgium, close to the city of Charleroi. It is a mostly rural and residential area, and it is known for its traditional folk processions, the marches of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region. Since it is a smaller place, it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver so the last part of the trip goes smoothly.
