Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Alken

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised sign with your name. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Alken

The route covers 93 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 h 19 m. Most of the journey is on Belgian motorways, and you travel directly to your address in Alken without changing vehicles or waiting for connections.

Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow things down during weekday morning and late-afternoon peaks, and bad weather has a similar effect. If you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch or a check-in deadline in Alken, add a buffer to the standard travel time.

Alken is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. Just provide your arrival details and the exact address when you book.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers
• Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers

If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, the minibus range starts with the 8-seat minibus and continues in steps of eight seats: 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and up to 64 seats. Families, business teams, sports clubs and tour groups can all be accommodated. Choose the vehicle that matches your headcount and bags, and the rest is arranged for you.

About Alken

Alken is a small municipality in the Belgian province of Limburg, in the Flemish countryside near Hasselt. It is a quiet, largely residential place rather than a major tourist hub, so a private transfer is a practical way to reach it from the airport. Give your driver the full street address when booking, as smaller roads in the area are easier to navigate with an exact destination.
