Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sy

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sy

The route covers 749 km (466 miles), and the typical driving time is 7 h 35 m. That is a long day on the road, so it helps to plan the trip around it rather than squeeze it between other commitments. Heavy traffic around Brussels at rush hour, roadworks, bad weather or busy holiday weekends can all stretch the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a connection, an appointment or a check-in deadline at the other end.

Sy is not a route we get asked about every day. It is available on request like any other, and your driver takes you directly from the airport to your address without changes or waiting for other passengers. On a trip of this length, that means you can sit back, rest, work or sleep. You also set the pace of the stops, within reason.

Which vehicle suits your group

For small parties, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are versions for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your group and its luggage. With a journey of well over seven hours, leg room and boot space matter, so do not choose a vehicle that is only just big enough.

Larger groups can book a private minibus. The available sizes are:

• 8 seats (1-8 passengers)
• 16 seats (1-16 passengers)
• 24 seats (1-24 passengers)
• 32 seats (1-32 passengers)
• 40 seats (1-40 passengers)
• 48 seats (1-48 passengers)

Family gatherings, wedding parties, sports teams and company groups usually find one of these a better fit than several separate cars. Everyone arrives together and at the same time.

About Sy as a destination

Sy is a small place, so you will not find a long list of attractions or services in the immediate area. Travellers heading there are usually visiting family, friends or a holiday address, or are looking for a quiet stay away from the larger towns. Please give us the exact address when you book, so the driver can plan the final stretch properly. Small villages can have narrow or unmarked access roads, and a full address avoids confusion at the end of a long drive.
