Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bekegem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from Charleroi to Bekegem

Bekegem is 157 km (98 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 42 m. The route crosses much of Belgium from south to north-west, so it is a long transfer by local standards. You stay in one car from the terminal to your address, with no luggage handling between trains or buses.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and on the main motorways in Flanders can slow the journey. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end, plan a buffer rather than counting on the standard time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small parties are well served by a private taxi. There is a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, which is useful if you travel with several suitcases. For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount and leaves room for luggage. A family reunion, a wedding party, a sports club or a company outing can all be arranged in advance.

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport transfers, but it is available on request like any other, so just enter your details and travel date.

About Bekegem

Bekegem is a small village in West Flanders, in the municipality of Ichtegem. The landscape is flat and rural, with farmland, quiet lanes and the typical Flemish countryside. It is not a major tourist centre, so most visitors come to see family and friends, for local events or on business in the surrounding area. The coast and the historic city of Bruges are within reach of the village by car.

Since the streets are small and some addresses are in rural spots, give your driver the full address and a phone number you can be reached on. That makes the final stretch of the drop-off quick and smooth.
