Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Velaine-sur-Sambre

The drive from Brussels Airport to Velaine-sur-Sambre

The route covers 79 km (49 miles) and typically takes about 54 minutes by road. That figure assumes normal traffic. The Brussels ring and the approaches to the city can slow things down in the morning and late-afternoon peaks, so it makes sense to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment, a train to catch or a event to attend on arrival. Velaine-sur-Sambre is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other, and your driver will be briefed on the address in advance.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4, which helps when you are travelling with a little more luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For wedding guests, business delegations, school trips or sports teams, minibuses are also available with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives together instead of being split across several cars. Pick the size according to both passengers and suitcases, and choose the next category up if you are close to the limit.

About Velaine-sur-Sambre

Velaine-sur-Sambre is a village in the municipality of Jemeppe-sur-Sambre, in the Walloon province of Namur. It lies in the Sambre valley, a mainly residential and semi-rural part of Wallonia between Namur and Charleroi. It is a quiet place rather than a tourist hotspot, so most visitors come to see family, attend a local event or do business in the surrounding area. Having a private driver is especially convenient here, as you are taken to the exact address instead of having to arrange a second leg after a long flight.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up quickly and head straight to the car.
