Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Austerlitz

The Drive from Charleroi to Austerlitz

This is a long-distance journey of 1118 km (695 miles), with a typical driving time of 11 h 11 m. That figure covers time at the wheel only. Over a distance like this, the driver will need to take rest stops, so allow extra time for breaks. Heavy traffic, roadworks, border-area congestion or bad weather can also stretch the trip. If you have a fixed appointment or onward connection at the destination, plan a generous buffer rather than aiming for the exact minute.

The route is booked less often than our busier airport runs, but it is available on request like any other. Because it is a full-day trip, it helps to send your arrival details and the exact drop-off address well ahead of time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For a trip of this length, comfort and luggage space matter. Smaller parties can choose a private taxi: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. Groups of up to 8 travel in a private 8-seat minibus, which also leaves room for extra bags. For bigger parties we offer minibuses with 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 match the vehicle to your plans.

About the Destination

Austerlitz is a small place, so exact addresses matter. Send us the full street address or a clear landmark, ideally with a phone number for the person you are visiting or the place you are staying. That helps the driver find the right spot at the end of a long drive, especially if the final stretch runs along minor local roads.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching around the terminal.
