Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to La Hestre

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet without searching around the terminal.

The Drive from BRU to La Hestre

The route covers 60 km (37 miles) and typically takes about 49 minutes. La Hestre is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other, and the driver is briefed on the address before you land.

Most of the journey runs south from the airport around the Brussels ring and on towards Hainaut. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection at the other end. Late-evening and weekend arrivals usually move more smoothly.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a little more room for a group of four.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers) works for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats (1-16 passengers) and 24 Seats (1-24 passengers) are suited to business groups, clubs or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats (up to 32, 40 and 48 passengers) cover coach-sized groups travelling on one booking.

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle and carry bulky items such as sports equipment or musical instruments, choose the next size up.

About La Hestre

La Hestre is a village in the province of Hainaut, in the French-speaking region of Wallonia, within the Manage area. It is a quiet, largely residential place in the Centre region, between the towns of La Louvière and Manage. Visitors usually come to see family, attend events in the surrounding area or work with local businesses. Travelling by private car from the airport spares you the connections that a journey to a smaller place would otherwise involve, and the driver brings you to your exact address.
