Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Beselare

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in 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 without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Beselare

Beselare lies in West Flanders, 140 km (87 miles) from the airport. The journey typically takes 1 h 28 m, and it is a long ride across Belgium from Wallonia into Flanders. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, or in bad weather, since traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down. Because this route is booked less often, it is arranged on request like any other transfer, and your driver will know the way.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small parties can choose a private taxi: one version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. For bigger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, and a 24-seat or 40-seat option may suit a wedding party or a tour group. Pick the size by the number of people and the amount of luggage, and leave a little spare space if you have bulky bags.

About Beselare

Beselare is a quiet village in the municipality of Zonnebeke, in the Westhoek region close to Ypres (Ieper). The surrounding countryside is flat farmland, and the area is closely tied to the First World War history of the Ypres Salient and the Passchendaele battlefields. Visitors usually come for battlefield tourism, cycling or a calm stay away from the cities.

Where to Stay Nearby

Beselare itself is small, so most travellers choose accommodation in nearby Ypres (Ieper). Hotel Regina and Hotel Ariane are two long-established hotels there, and both are practical bases for visiting the surrounding villages and memorial sites. Your driver can take you directly to the address of whichever place you book.
