Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Avelgem

The drive from Charleroi to Avelgem

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 16 m. It leads from the Walloon side of the country towards the western edge of Flanders, so you cross a good part of Belgium without needing to pass through central Brussels. Avelgem is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, or in bad weather, since the last stretch runs on regional roads where traffic can slow down.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version seats 1-3 passengers, another 1-4. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses start at 8 seats and continue in steps of 8 up to 64 seats. That covers anything from a family gathering to a wedding party, a sports team or a company group. Tell us the number of passengers and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle.

Avelgem as a destination

Avelgem is a municipality in West Flanders, set on the river Scheldt close to the border with Wallonia. It is a quiet, largely rural place with riverside paths and flat countryside that suits cycling and walking. Visitors usually come for family visits, local events or business in the surrounding region, and the larger town of Kortrijk is nearby for shopping and dining.

Where to stay near Avelgem

Avelgem itself is small, so many visitors choose accommodation in Kortrijk, the nearest larger town. Well-known options there include:

• Hotel Damier, on the Grote Markt in the town centre
• Parkhotel Kortrijk, a long-established hotel near the centre
• Hotel Messeyne, housed in a historic building in the old town

Give your driver the exact address of your hotel or private residence when booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
