Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Quatre Bras

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Quatre Bras

The route covers 46 km (29 miles) and typically takes around 40 minutes. It leaves the airport area and heads south through Brussels' outskirts into the countryside of Walloon Brabant. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down at weekday rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting booking at the other end. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding guests, school or sports groups, and companies travelling together. Pick the size that also leaves room for everyone's luggage.

About Quatre Bras

Quatre Bras is a rural crossroads in Walloon Brabant, within the municipality of Genappe. It is best known for the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815, fought two days before Waterloo. Today the area is a quiet mix of farmland and small villages, and many visitors come to explore Napoleonic-era history in the region. Since the area is spread out, it helps to have the exact address of your destination ready for the driver.
