Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Beke

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Beke

The journey covers 391 km (243 miles) and typically takes 4 h 9 m. That is a long transfer, so it suits a private car far better than a patchwork of connections with luggage. This route is booked less often than the airport's busiest ones, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver plans the trip around your arrival.

Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, on Friday afternoons or at the start and end of school holidays. Traffic on Belgian motorways can slow the drive noticeably in those periods. If you have a connecting appointment in Beke, build in a buffer rather than counting on the minimum driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simplest option. A second taxi option takes up to four passengers, which helps when everyone has a suitcase. Over a drive of more than four hours, the extra space is worth considering.

For bigger parties, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 to 64 seats. Choose according to the number of travellers and the amount of luggage, and tell us about any oversized items when you book.

About Beke

Beke is a small place, so there is little to say beyond the basics. It is not a major tourist hub, and most visitors come to see family, attend an event or visit a business. Give your driver the exact street address when you book, since small-town addresses are easy to confuse with similarly named places. A working phone number for the day of travel also helps if the driver needs to find a specific house or entrance.
