Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Saintes

The drive from Zaventem to Saintes

Saintes lies 46 km (29 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 35 minutes. The route leads you around the south-west side of the Brussels region and out into the quieter countryside of Walloon Brabant. Because the Brussels ring road is busy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Outside those hours the trip is usually smooth. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and a private driver takes you door to door without changes or waiting.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are two options: one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so check your luggage as well as your headcount before booking. Larger parties are better off in a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a family group or colleagues travelling together with bags. For weddings, club trips, school groups or company events, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available, so everyone can arrive together in one vehicle instead of splitting across several cars.

About Saintes

Saintes is a small village in the municipality of Tubize, in the province of Walloon Brabant, south-west of Brussels. It has a rural character, with fields and quiet roads rather than big-city sights, and it is best known locally for its village church and its pilgrimage traditions. Visitors usually come to see family, attend a local event or enjoy the countryside. Since public facilities are limited in a village of this size, it helps to have your exact address ready for the driver, along with a contact number for the person you are visiting.
