Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Potyze

The drive from Brussels Airport to Potyze

Potyze lies 129 km (81 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey usually takes around 1 h 22 m by road. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. The first stretch runs through the busy Brussels area, so allow extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush hour. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add some minutes, and your driver will adapt the route as needed.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples and small families fit comfortably in a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For larger parties, a Private Minibus with 8 seats suits a group of friends or an extended family. Bigger groups such as tour parties, school trips or commemorative visits can book minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size by the number of people in your group, so everyone travels together in one vehicle.
