Taxi Namur to Brussels Airport

Namur, capital of Wallonia and Belgium'​s fifth largest city, is located 65 kilometers from Brussels-Zaventem Airport. Situated at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers, this strategic city now offers a direct taxi service to Brussels Airport, the preferred solution to avoid multiple train connections and guarantee a comfortable door-to-door journey in 50 minutes.

Namur - Brussels Airport Taxi Rates

The fixed rate for a taxi from Namur to Zaventem ranges between €120 and €150 for a 45-55 minute journey depending on traffic. From Namur center (Place d'Armes, SNCB Station), expect €125-145. From Jambes left bank, rates are €120-140. For peripheral neighborhoods like Salzinnes (south), Saint-Servais (west) or Bouge (east), expect €125-150.

Surrounding municipalities benefit from adjusted rates: Gembloux (35 km from Zaventem) €90-115, Andenne (50 km) €105-135, Dinant in the south (85 km) €160-195. For travelers from the province: Ciney (80 km) €155-190, Rochefort (100 km) €180-220. Our service offers a same-day return package with 15% discount, particularly advantageous for Brussels meetings with return flight from Zaventem.

Routes and Travel Time

The main route takes the E411 Namur-Brussels to the R0 Ring, then towards Zaventem (exit 2). This direct 65 km route takes 45-50 minutes under normal conditions. During Brussels peak hours (7:30-9:30am, 5-7pm), add 10-15 minutes for traffic on the R0 east. For very early departures (before 6am) or late departures (after 9pm), the journey takes only 40-45 minutes with minimal traffic.

From Namur center, access to the E411 via N4 takes 5-10 minutes. An alternative route via N4 then E40 exists but adds 15 km and 15 minutes without real advantage. Our drivers monitor E411 conditions real-time: in case of accident, the alternative via N4-Gembloux then E40 is taken, adding only 5-10 minutes but avoiding complete jams.

Namur and its Served Neighborhoods

Our service covers all of Namur and its agglomeration. On the right bank, we provide pickups from the historic center (Belfry, Cathedral), SNCB Station, and the commercial Rue de Fer district. On the left bank (Jambes), departures from Cora shopping center, main avenues and residential areas are organized with 5 minutes margin to cross the bridge.

For economic activity zones (Naninne, Belgrade, Champion), motorway access is immediate (5 min to E411). Le Grognon (confluence) and the Citadel require 10 additional minutes to descend and reach the motorway. Residents of Wépion (strawberries), Profondeville or Floreffe in the south benefit from pickup on the route to E411 without significant surcharge.

Timing and Recommendations

For a flight from Zaventem, depart from Namur 2h45 before international flights and 2h15 before Schengen flights, accounting for 50 min journey + 10 min margin. During weekends and holidays, the journey is smoother (40 min) but still arrive 2h30/2h before as precaution. Our drivers know Namur-Brussels train schedules and can adapt departure if you prefer to arrive earlier at the airport.

For returns from Zaventem to Namur, our flight tracking system automatically alerts us in case of delay. The driver will wait without extra charges up to 60 minutes after landing for international flights, 45 minutes for Schengen flights. This is particularly useful for late flights (after 10pm) where the last Brussels-Namur train departs around 11:30pm.

Train vs Taxi Comparison

The Namur-Brussels Airport train officially takes 50-65 minutes (via Brussels-North or Brussels-Central) for €12-15. In reality: 5-10 min taxi to station + 10 min train wait + 55 min journey + 5 min walk Zaventem = 75-80 min minimum. With a missed connection, easily count 90-100 minutes door-to-door. Direct taxi takes 50 min, 25-30 minutes less.

For a family of 3 people (€36-45 by train), taxi (€125-145) costs €27-33 more per person but offers total comfort and guaranteed time savings. For business travelers, being able to work 50 minutes in the taxi instead of managing connections and luggage on the train amply justifies the extra cost. Couples (€24-30 by train vs €62-72 by taxi) save €40 but lose 30 minutes and much comfort.

Specialized Namur Service

Our Namur-Zaventem taxi service is particularly adapted to local needs. We know Namur specificities: difficult access to historic center (narrow streets, one-ways), impossible parking near Citadel, extended pedestrian zones. Our drivers know where to park 2-3 minutes to pick you up without problem, even Rue de Fer or Place d'Armes.

For major Namur events (Walloon Festivities in September, Christmas markets), we anticipate +15-20 minutes to exit the center and adapt pickup times. Citadel or Bouge residents benefit from our knowledge of alternative routes to avoid congested center. Air-conditioned vehicles, free WiFi, and complimentary water complete this premium door-to-door service.
