Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Balegem

The drive from Charleroi to Balegem

The route covers 101 km (63 miles) and typically takes 1 h 8 m. It leads from the Walloon side of the country towards East Flanders, and most of it is on motorways. Balegem is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like any other route. Allow extra time if your transfer falls in the weekday rush hours, since the stretches around Brussels and Ghent can slow down. A driver tracks the traffic and chooses the route that suits the conditions on the day.

Choosing the right vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families are usually best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size based on the number of people and the amount of luggage you bring. Wedding guests, sports teams and company groups travelling to the area can be accommodated without difficulty.

Balegem and where to stay nearby

Balegem is a small village in East Flanders, part of the municipality of Oosterzele and southeast of Ghent. It is a quiet, rural place with the typical Flemish mix of farmland, small lanes and local cafés. Visitors often use it as a calm base while spending time in the wider Ghent region.

We cannot name established hotels in Balegem itself with confidence. The nearest well-known choice is the city of Ghent, which has a wide range of places to stay, including:

• NH Gent Belfort, near the historic centre
• Marriott Ghent, on the Korenlei by the river
• Hotel Gravensteen, a well-known hotel in a former mansion in the old town

If you are staying in Ghent and need to reach Balegem, or the other way round, we can arrange a transfer to your exact address.

Meeting Point

After you collect your luggage, head to Starbucks in the arrivals area, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign. Look for your name and you can start your journey straight away.
