Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Audenaerde

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without any searching.

The Drive from Charleroi to Audenaerde

The transfer covers 103 km (65 miles) and typically takes 1 h 23 m. The route runs north-west across Belgium, so it passes close to the Brussels region. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow that stretch. Allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a check-in deadline or an event in town. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add minutes, and your driver follows the best route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big Brussels runs, but it is available on request like any other. Pick the vehicle by the size of your party and your luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats for friends, extended families and teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus with 24 to 64 seats for tour groups, wedding parties, cycling clubs and company events.

If you travel with bicycles, sports equipment or oversized cases, mention it when you book so that the right vehicle is assigned.

About Audenaerde

Audenaerde, spelled Oudenaarde in modern Dutch, is a historic town on the river Scheldt in East Flanders. It is known for its ornate Gothic town hall, its tapestry-weaving tradition and its place in Belgian cycling, as the Tour of Flanders is closely tied to the town. The surrounding Flemish Ardennes offer rolling hills and quiet country roads. Many visitors come for the cycling culture, the old centre and the local beer.

Where to Stay Nearby

Audenaerde itself is small, and I cannot name long-established hotels there with confidence. The nearest larger city with well-known hotels is Ghent, a short drive away. Established choices there include:

• Sofitel Gent Belfort Hotel, in the historic centre.
• Marriott Ghent Hotel, next to the Leie river in the old town.
• Hotel Gravensteen, a hotel housed in a converted mansion near the Castle of the Counts.

If your accommodation is in Ghent or elsewhere in the area, tell us the exact address when booking and the driver will take you to the door.
