Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Berendrecht

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Berendrecht

The route covers 127 km (79 miles) and typically takes 1 h 30 m. It runs north from Charleroi, past the Brussels region and on towards Antwerp, before the final stretch through the port area to Berendrecht. Traffic around Brussels and the Antwerp ring road is the main variable. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, it is sensible to allow some extra time, especially if you have a ferry, a check-in or a fixed appointment at the other end. Berendrecht is not on any major passenger route, so a private transfer takes you directly to your address without detours or waiting between connections.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): a good fit for solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): more room for luggage and for groups who prefer to spread out.
• Larger minibuses (16 to 64 seats): available on request for bigger parties, such as company teams, event guests or tour groups.

Berendrecht is a less frequently booked destination, but it is arranged on request just like any other route. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book, and we will assign the right vehicle.

Berendrecht and Where to Stay

Berendrecht is a quiet village in the northern part of the Port of Antwerp area, close to Zandvliet and Lillo and not far from the Dutch border. It belongs to the city of Antwerp and is known for its connection to the port, with the large Berendrecht lock nearby. The surroundings are flat, green and working-industrial at the same time, which makes it popular with port workers, cyclists and visitors looking for a calm base.

Berendrecht itself has only limited accommodation that we can name with confidence, so here are two well-known, long-established hotels in the nearest major city, Antwerp:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre.
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel Antwerp, close to Antwerp-Central station.

If you are staying in one of these, tell us the hotel name when booking and we will plan the drop-off accordingly.
