Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bertem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at 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 and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Bertem

The route covers 77 km (48 miles) and usually takes around 55 minutes. Most of the trip is on motorway, heading north towards Brussels and then east around the capital towards Leuven. Traffic near Brussels can slow things down at weekday rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a meeting or a connection in Bertem. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like every other transfer we offer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. These suit couples, families and business travellers with standard luggage. For bigger parties we offer private minibuses:

• 8 seats for 1-8 passengers
• 16, 24 and 32 seats for mid-sized groups
• 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats for conference delegations, school trips and organised tours

Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your trip.

Bertem and Where to Stay Nearby

Bertem is a municipality in Flemish Brabant, just east of Brussels and close to Leuven. It is a green, mostly residential area, which makes it a quiet base compared with the city centres. I could not confirm well-known hotels in Bertem itself, so here are established ones in nearby Leuven, the closest larger town:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, a hotel set in a converted historic building in Leuven
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a large, well-known hotel in the city centre

If you are staying in Bertem or Leuven, give your driver the exact address when booking so the drop-off goes smoothly.
