Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lauwe

The drive from Brussels Airport to Lauwe

Lauwe lies 112 km (70 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 18 m. The route heads west across Flanders, so most of the journey is on motorway. This is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other. Traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, especially at weekday rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection, a business appointment or an event at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business travellers.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, wedding parties, company outings and teams, with space for up to 48 passengers.

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports gear or musical instruments, choose the next size up for a more comfortable ride.

Lauwe and where to stay nearby

Lauwe is a small village in West Flanders and part of the municipality of Menen, close to the French border. It is a quiet, residential place rather than a major tourist destination, and it is an easy base for visiting the wider Kortrijk region. I am not able to name well-established hotels in Lauwe itself with confidence, so here are two well-known options in the nearby city of Kortrijk:

• Parkhotel Kortrijk
• Hotel Messeyne

Tell us the exact address of your hotel or accommodation when you book, so the driver can take you to the right door.

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 meet without searching the terminal.
