Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Antoing

The drive from Charleroi to Antoing

Antoing lies 86 km (54 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the drive typically takes about 55 minutes. The route heads west across Hainaut towards the French border area, so it is a straightforward run without any city centre to cross. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours, and when the weather is poor, especially if you have a connection or a fixed appointment at the other end. This is a route booked less often than the big airport-to-city runs, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver takes you directly to your address.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This makes the route suitable for wedding parties, school trips, sports teams, company groups and other bigger parties who want to arrive together and on time. Pick the vehicle by passenger count and add a margin if you carry bulky items such as instruments, strollers or sports gear.

Antoing and where to stay

Antoing is a small town in the Walloon province of Hainaut, on the Scheldt river and just a few kilometres from Tournai. It is best known for the Château d'Antoing, the historic seat of the Princes de Ligne, and for its quiet, green surroundings. Antoing itself has little in the way of large hotels, so many visitors stay in nearby Tournai, which has a wider choice. Two established options there are Hôtel Cathédrale, close to the historic centre, and the Mercure Tournai. From either, Antoing is a short drive away, which makes it easy to combine your arrival transfer with a stay in the area.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport with a personalised name sign. It is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there directly after the baggage hall.
