About Coach Hire in Brussels
Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union, home to the European Parliament, Commission and Council, plus NATO HQ. We arrange coach hire from BRU and Charleroi (CRL) airports, shuttles for EU and conference events, and Belgian heritage tours to Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp.
Belgium is officially multilingual, so French, Dutch and English-speaking drivers can be requested, with German, Italian or Spanish on request for international events. The whole Brussels region is a low-emission zone, and the operator we book plans the vehicle and route to meet its rules.
