Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gosselies

The drive from Zaventem to Gosselies

The route covers 66 km (41 miles) and typically takes 47 minutes. You leave the Brussels ring area and continue south into Wallonia, ending in the Charleroi region. Because the journey is a private point-to-point ride, you are taken straight to your address in Gosselies without changing vehicles or carrying luggage between connections.

When to allow extra time

The 47-minute figure is a typical driving time, not a guarantee. Around Brussels, the morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the first part of the trip considerably. If you have a meeting, a check-in or a connecting departure in Gosselies, build in a buffer, especially on weekday mornings and evenings. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle range covers most group sizes:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups with normal luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or colleagues travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, teams, school parties and event delegations, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports gear or equipment cases, choose the next size up.

About Gosselies

Gosselies is a district of the city of Charleroi in the province of Hainaut, in French-speaking Belgium. It is best known for Brussels South Charleroi Airport and the surrounding business and aviation-related zone, so many visitors come here for work. The area is mostly practical and commercial rather than a sightseeing destination, and Charleroi itself is a short drive away.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly once you are through baggage reclaim.
