Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mainvault

The drive from Brussels Airport to Mainvault

Mainvault lies 84 km (53 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey by road typically takes about 1 h 4 m. Mainvault is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Because the trip leaves the airport area and crosses the Brussels region before continuing into Hainaut, it is sensible to allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around the capital slows down. Your driver follows the most suitable route on the day, so the actual time can vary a little with conditions.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families are usually best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option gives a little more room for hand luggage and coats, which helps after a long flight. For larger parties, private minibuses are offered with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. An 8-seat minibus suits a family gathering or a small group with plenty of suitcases, while the larger coaches work well for wedding guests, company groups or organised tours heading to the Mainvault area. Pick the size that matches your group including luggage, and everyone travels together in one vehicle door to door.
