Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thorembais-les-Beguines

The drive from Brussels Airport

The route between Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) and Thorembais-les-Beguines covers 51 km (32 miles), and the typical driving time is 38 minutes. The journey leaves the airport area and heads south towards Walloon Brabant, so most of it is on major roads before it finishes on quieter local ones. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi. There are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, which suits a couple, a family or a few colleagues travelling with luggage. For larger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. A minibus with 8 seats works for a group of friends or an extended family with suitcases. The 16- and 24-seat vehicles suit wedding parties, sports teams or business delegations. The 32-, 40- and 48-seat vehicles cover bigger events where everyone needs to arrive together. When booking, choose a vehicle that leaves some room for bags, not just seats for people.
