Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ronquieres

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Ronquieres

Ronquieres lies 48 km (30 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 40 minutes. Your driver takes the most practical road route for the time of day, so you do not need to plan connections or check timetables. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down at peak commuting hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a check-in or an event at the other end.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. You simply book in advance and a private vehicle is arranged for your arrival.

Meeting Point

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

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for mid-sized groups, teams or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as coach-style group arrivals, company outings or event guests.

If you are unsure, choose the larger option when you have a lot of luggage, because space matters as much as seat count.

About Ronquieres

Ronquieres is a small village in the province of Hainaut, in Wallonia. It is best known for the Plan incliné de Ronquières, a large inclined plane boat lift on the Brussels–Charleroi canal. The surrounding countryside is green and quiet, which makes the village a calm contrast to the airport and the capital. Since it is a rural destination, it helps to have the exact address ready for your driver when you book, so the final stretch of the journey is straightforward.
