Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Aartselaar

The drive from Charleroi to Aartselaar

The route covers 92 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 h 2 m. Charleroi Airport lies south of Brussels, and Aartselaar is just south of Antwerp, so the journey crosses most of central Belgium. Both the Brussels ring road and the approaches to Antwerp are known for heavy traffic, so allow extra time if you land during the morning or late-afternoon rush, or if you must reach a meeting or a connection at a fixed hour. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice: one option seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. Groups can choose from a range of private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your passenger count and luggage, and tell us about bulky items such as sports equipment or prams when you book so the vehicle is planned accordingly.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head for the Starbucks, which is easy to find. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign.

Aartselaar as a destination

Aartselaar is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, in Flanders, lying directly south of the city of Antwerp. It is largely residential and green, with business parks along the main roads, which makes it a practical base for visitors with business in the Antwerp area. Travellers coming here are often heading to offices, to family, or to a stay in the Antwerp region rather than to a major sightseeing programme. Giving the driver the exact street address in advance helps ensure a smooth drop-off at the door.
