Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Noeux-les-Mines

The drive from Brussels Airport to Noeux-les-Mines

The route covers 174 km (109 miles) and takes about 2 h 0 m in normal conditions. It leads from Zaventem across Belgium and over the border into northern France, ending in the Pas-de-Calais department. Traffic around Brussels at rush hour, and on the approach to the Lille area, can slow the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment. This is a less frequently booked route, available on request like any other. Keep valid ID with you for the border crossing.

Which vehicle suits your group

The vehicle depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, useful for larger families or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: 1-16 or 1-24 passengers, a good fit for work groups and clubs.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: 1-32, 1-40 or 1-48 passengers, for coach-sized parties travelling together.

If you are unsure, choose the larger size when you carry a lot of luggage, so everyone travels comfortably.
