Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Eloois-Vijve

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search.

The Drive to Sint-Eloois-Vijve

The route covers 90 km (56 miles) and typically takes 1 h 7 m. Most of the way is on motorway, heading west from Zaventem towards West Flanders. Sint-Eloois-Vijve is a less frequently booked destination, so the transfer is arranged on request, just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour. The Brussels ring road and the motorways towards Ghent are the usual bottlenecks, and heavy rain can also slow traffic. If you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection, plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit a private taxi. The options are a taxi for 1-3 passengers or one for 1-4 passengers, which gives more room for luggage when four people travel together. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit wedding guests, business delegations, sports clubs and school or coach-style group trips, and everyone arrives together in one vehicle. When you book, count your suitcases as well as your passengers, so the vehicle is the right size.

Sint-Eloois-Vijve and Where to Stay

Sint-Eloois-Vijve is a village in the municipality of Waregem in West Flanders. It is a quiet, residential place in the flat countryside of the Leie region, and most visitors come to see family, to attend local events or for business in the wider area. I cannot name long-established hotels in the village itself with confidence, so here are two well-known options in Kortrijk, the nearest larger city:

• Parkhotel Kortrijk, a long-established hotel in the city.
• Hotel Messeyne, a boutique hotel in a historic building in the centre of Kortrijk.
