Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Houx

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Houx

Houx lies 93 km (58 miles) from the airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 4 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, so the time is fairly predictable outside peak hours. The busiest stretch is usually around the Brussels ring in the morning and late afternoon. If you have a fixed appointment or a tight onward plan, allow some extra time on weekday rush hours, on Friday afternoons and in bad weather.

Because Houx is a small village rather than a major hub, a private transfer is the simplest way to get there. You travel door to door and do not have to plan around timetables or luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you book should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• 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 groups, weddings and organised trips.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: cover large parties, company events and tour groups on a single vehicle.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment, it is sensible to choose the next size up.

About Houx

Houx is a quiet village in the municipality of Yvoir, in the province of Namur, on the banks of the Meuse. It is best known for the ruins of Poilvache castle, which stand on the heights above the river. The area is popular with visitors who like walking, cycling and river scenery. Expect a calm, rural setting rather than a busy town centre, so it helps to have your exact address or meeting location ready when you book, so your driver can take you right to it.
