Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Taintignies

The drive from Brussels Airport to Taintignies

The route covers 116 km (73 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 28 m. Taintignies lies in the west of Belgium, so the journey leads you across the country from Zaventem towards the French border. The first stretch passes the Brussels ring road, which is the part most likely to slow you down. If you land during the morning or late-afternoon rush hour, or at the start or end of a holiday weekend, allow some extra time. Taintignies is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, with a private driver taking you directly from the airport to your address.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) suit solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats works for larger families or a group of colleagues with bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats, 24 Seats, 32 Seats, 40 Seats and 48 Seats cover wedding parties, sports clubs, company teams, and other bigger groups travelling together.

On a trip of this length, the extra space is worth it. Choose the next size up if you carry bulky luggage, sports equipment, or a pushchair.

About Taintignies

Taintignies is a small village in the province of Hainaut, close to the French border and part of the municipality of Rumes. The surroundings are quiet and rural, with farmland and short distances to the city of Tournai. Most visitors come to see family or friends, for local events, or for business in the border region. It is worth giving your driver the exact street address, because a village like this offers few landmarks to navigate by.

Places to stay near Taintignies

Taintignies itself is very small, so most visitors who need a hotel look in the nearby city of Tournai. Two established options there are:

• Van der Valk Hotel Tournai, a larger hotel that is convenient for road travellers.
• Hôtel Cathédrale, in the historic centre close to the cathedral.

If you book one of these, give the driver the hotel name and address when you reserve the transfer.
