Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Astene

The drive from Charleroi to Astene

The transfer covers 119 km (74 miles) and typically takes 1 h 18 m. You travel from Wallonia into East Flanders, so most of the journey is on motorway. Astene is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request just like any other route. Allow some extra time if you travel at weekday rush hour, because traffic around Brussels and in Flanders can slow the trip. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, build in a buffer.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your luggage and group size. For bigger parties we offer private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle. This helps with wedding parties, company trips, sports teams and family gatherings.

About Astene and where to stay

Astene is a quiet village in the municipality of Deinze, in the Leie region of East Flanders. The surroundings are flat, green and mostly residential, with the river and the countryside close by. Lodging in the village itself is limited, so many visitors stay in nearby Ghent, the closest major city. Well-known hotels there include the Marriott Ghent, the NH Gent Belfort and the Hotel Gravensteen. Share your exact address in Astene when you book, and the driver will take you there directly.
