Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mévergnies-Lez-Lens

The drive from Zaventem to Mévergnies-Lez-Lens

The route covers 76 km (48 miles) and normally takes about 55 minutes by road. Most of the journey is on motorway as you leave the Brussels area and head southwest into Hainaut. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in heavy rain or winter conditions. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed arrival time at your destination, build in a buffer rather than counting on the minimum time. This route is booked less often than the big city connections, but it is available on request like any other, so just reserve in advance.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are best served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, the four-passenger option gives you more flexibility. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit family gatherings, wedding guests, sports teams, company groups and school or club trips. Pick a vehicle by passenger count and luggage, and choose the next size up if your group is close to a limit.

About Mévergnies-Lez-Lens

Mévergnies-Lez-Lens is a small village in the Walloon province of Hainaut, in a quiet, rural part of western Belgium. It is not a place with a large tourist infrastructure, so it is worth confirming your exact address before you travel. A private transfer takes you directly to the door, which is a real advantage in an area where public transport is limited and a direct connection from the airport cannot be relied on.
