Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mont-Saint-Guibert

The Drive from BRU to Mont-Saint-Guibert

The route covers 38 km (24 miles) and normally takes about 33 minutes. You leave the Zaventem area, join the motorway network south-east of Brussels and continue into Walloon Brabant. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring can add noticeable time, as can roadworks or bad weather, so it is sensible to build in a buffer if you have a meeting or a fixed appointment on arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are versions for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers, so check your luggage as well as your headcount. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which keeps everyone together in one vehicle. This suits business delegations, university visitors, wedding guests and sports teams, who would otherwise have to split across several cars.

Mont-Saint-Guibert as a Destination

Mont-Saint-Guibert is a French-speaking municipality in the province of Walloon Brabant, close to Ottignies and Louvain-la-Neuve. It has a rail station on the Brussels–Namur line and a business park, so many visitors come for work, for the nearby university town or to see friends and family in the area. It is a quiet, largely residential place rather than a sightseeing hub. Have the exact street address ready for your driver, since some addresses in the area are in outlying or newly built neighbourhoods.

Travelling Back to the Airport

When heading back to Zaventem for a flight, plan your pickup time around the check-in and security requirements of your departure rather than around the 33-minute drive alone. Leaving earlier than you think necessary is wise on weekday mornings, when traffic towards Brussels tends to be heaviest. Let the driver know about extra bags or bulky items when booking so that the right vehicle is sent.

Meeting Point
