Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Solre-Sur-Sambre

The drive from Brussels Airport to Solre-Sur-Sambre

The route covers 85 km (53 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 9 m. You leave the Zaventem area and head south-west across Belgium towards the Hainaut province, close to the French border. Most of the journey is on motorway, so the time is fairly predictable outside peak hours.

Allow extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon. Traffic around the Brussels ring road is the most common cause of delays. Roadworks and bad weather can also add minutes, so plan any tight connections with a margin.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Your driver takes you directly to your address, with no changes or waiting on the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families. The 4-passenger version is better for a family with a bit more luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable choice for larger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, wedding parties, sports teams, and company events. Everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when travelling with bulky luggage such as prams, sports gear, or musical instruments.
