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

The Drive from Zaventem to Montignies-Lez-Lens

The transfer covers 79 km (49 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 3 m. The route leads southwest from the airport, away from the Brussels area and into the province of Hainaut. Outside peak hours the journey time is dependable. Traffic on the Brussels ring road in the morning and late afternoon can add minutes, so build in a buffer if you have an appointment, event or onward connection at the other end. This is a less frequently booked route, so it is arranged on request, just like every other transfer, and your driver plans the trip around your arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The right vehicle depends mainly on group size and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a group of friends or a family with plenty of bags.
• Private Minibus 16 or 24 Seats: works for larger parties, such as a guest group arriving for a family occasion.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for big groups like company outings, sports clubs or wedding parties travelling together.

About Montignies-Lez-Lens

Montignies-Lez-Lens is a small village belonging to the municipality of Lens in the Walloon province of Hainaut. It is a quiet, rural setting where French is spoken. Because smaller places can be hard to pin down on a map, give your driver the full street address and house number when you book, along with a working phone number. That helps the driver go straight to the right door at the end of the ride.

Meeting Point
