Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lonzée

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Lonzée

Lonzée lies 55 km (34 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey usually takes around 46 minutes by road. Your driver heads south-west out of the Brussels area into the Walloon countryside. The first stretch is the busiest, because the roads around Brussels fill up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a tight connection, an appointment or a fixed check-in time, add a buffer for those periods. Outside peak times the drive tends to be smooth and predictable.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign with your name on it. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal. If you cannot see the driver right away, stay near the coffee house and look for the sign.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle choice depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats work for larger families, friends travelling together or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover bigger parties such as wedding guests, school or sports groups and company events, all arriving in a single vehicle.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, pick the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

About Lonzée

Lonzée is a small village in the municipality of Gembloux, in the Belgian province of Namur. It is in the French-speaking region of Wallonia. The surroundings are mostly rural, with farmland and quiet local roads, so it feels very different from the airport area. Gembloux, the nearest town, is known for its agricultural university and has the shops and services that a village lacks. Because Lonzée is small, give your driver the full street address when you book. This helps them take you directly to your door at the end of the trip.
