Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Horrues

The drive from Brussels Airport to Horrues

Horrues lies 66 km (41 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 54 minutes. The route leads out of the Brussels area and southwest into the province of Hainaut. The final stretch runs through quieter, more rural roads.

The first part of the trip is the most variable. Traffic around the Brussels ring is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection. Outside those hours the journey is usually smooth.

Horrues is a less frequently booked destination, but a transfer here is arranged on request just like any other route.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups can choose between a private taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The second option gives a little more room for a family of four with luggage.

Larger parties are covered by private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This helps with wedding guests, company teams, sports clubs or tour groups, since everyone travels together in one vehicle and arrives at the same time. If your group has a lot of suitcases or sports equipment, pick the next size up for comfort.
