Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Profondeville

The drive from BRU to Profondeville

The route covers 81 km (50 miles) and normally takes around 59 minutes. Profondeville is booked less often than the big city routes, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Since the journey starts near Brussels, traffic around the capital can add time during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow a little extra if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats up to three passengers, another up to four. Groups with more luggage or more people can move to a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits larger families or a small business party, while the 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat minibuses cover wedding guests, sports clubs, school trips and company outings. Choose the size by the number of passengers and bags together, and go one size up if you are close to the limit.
