Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Apeldoorn

Meeting Point

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

The Drive from Charleroi to Apeldoorn

The route covers 294 km (183 miles) and normally takes around 3 h 20 m. It crosses Belgium and continues into the Netherlands, ending in the province of Gelderland. This is a long transfer, so plan for a little extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours or on busy holiday weekends, when traffic around the larger cities slows down. Because the booking is private, the trip runs door to door without any changes. It is a less frequently requested route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small parties can take a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage, or if you want more space on a three-hour journey, an 8-seat minibus is the more comfortable choice. For tour groups, sports teams or company outings, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book, and we will assign the right vehicle.

Apeldoorn as a Destination

Apeldoorn is a large city in Gelderland on the edge of the Veluwe, a wide area of woodland and heath that attracts walkers and cyclists. The city is best known for Paleis Het Loo, the former royal palace with its formal gardens, and for the Apenheul primate park nearby. Many visitors come for business, family visits or a nature break, and a direct transfer saves them the trouble of changing trains with luggage.

Where to Stay in Apeldoorn

Two well-established hotels are worth knowing about:

• Bilderberg Hotel De Keizerskroon, a historic hotel close to Paleis Het Loo and the city centre.
• Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn, a large hotel on the edge of the city, popular with both business travellers and families.

Give your driver the exact hotel name or street address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
