Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Monceau-Sur-Sambre

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Monceau-Sur-Sambre

The route covers 71 km (44 miles) and typically takes around 55 minutes by road. You travel from the Zaventem area through the Brussels region and on into Hainaut province. This route is booked less often than the big city connections, but it is available on request just like any other. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment at the other end. Bad weather can also add a few minutes to the trip.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends mostly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with plenty of bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: practical for mid-sized groups, teams and event parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for tour groups, school trips and larger delegations.

If your group sits close to the limit of a vehicle, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room for luggage.

About Monceau-Sur-Sambre

Monceau-Sur-Sambre lies along the river Sambre in the Walloon region of Belgium and is part of the city of Charleroi. The area has a long industrial history linked to the Sambre valley, and today it combines residential neighbourhoods with the wider Charleroi urban area. French is the local language. It is worth giving your driver the full street address on arrival day, since the surrounding area is large and has several similarly named districts.
