Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Aarschot

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Aarschot

The route covers 100 km (63 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 12 m. Most of the journey runs north across Belgium towards Flemish Brabant, so it is a fairly straightforward trip by road. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow things down, especially during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or an onward connection, plan a little extra time. Because the transfer is private, the driver takes you directly to your address in Aarschot without stops for other passengers.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. When you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This suits school trips, sports teams, company outings and wedding parties. Give us the exact number of passengers when you book, so the vehicle matches your group.

Aarschot as a Destination

Aarschot is a town in Flemish Brabant, in the Hageland region, not far from Leuven. It has a compact historic centre with a market square and a large Gothic church, and it is surrounded by quiet countryside that is popular with walkers and cyclists. Visitors usually come for family visits, local events or business in the area, and the town is a calm base away from the bustle of Brussels.

Places to Stay Nearby

I can't name established hotels in Aarschot itself with enough confidence, so here are some well-known options in nearby Leuven, the closest larger town:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, in a former monastery-style complex
• Hotel Industrie, near the centre of Leuven
• Pentahotel Leuven, a modern hotel close to the station area

If you stay in Leuven, tell us the hotel address when you book and the driver can take you there directly.
