Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maubeuge

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Maubeuge

The transfer covers 103 km (65 miles) and typically takes 1 h 19 m. The route leads south-west from Zaventem through Belgium, across the Hainaut region, and over the border into northern France. Because the first stretch runs around Brussels, weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic can add time, so it is sensible to allow some extra margin if you have a train, appointment or check-in waiting at the other end. The journey is a single direct ride with no changes, which is a real advantage after a long flight with luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle you pick simply depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi: for 1 to 4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for 1 to 8 passengers, useful when you have extra bags or a larger family.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: for 1 to 16 or 1 to 24 passengers, a good fit for business teams, clubs and tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for 1 to 32, 40 or 48 passengers, intended for large delegations, school groups and events.

If you are unsure which size is best, choose the next category up when travelling with bulky luggage such as sports equipment or trade-show material.
