Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Boom

The Drive from Charleroi to Boom

The route covers 87 km (54 miles) and typically takes about 58 minutes. Most of the journey runs on motorway, so the trip is straightforward once you are underway. Traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can slow things down at weekday rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, an event ticket or a connection in Boom. Because this route is booked less often than others, we arrange it on request, with the same private service as any other transfer.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

After collecting your luggage, head to the Starbucks, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel with more people or more luggage, the minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats up to 64 seats. This makes the route workable for tour groups, school trips, sports teams and company outings as well as for individual guests. Tell us your group size and how many bags you carry, and we will match the vehicle to it.

Boom in Brief

Boom is a town in the province of Antwerp, on the Rupel river. It is historically linked to brickmaking, and today it is probably best known internationally as the home of the Tomorrowland festival, which takes place in the nearby De Schorre recreational area. If you are visiting for the festival, build in a generous buffer on busy event days, as roads around the town fill up.

Where to Stay Near Boom

Boom itself has only a limited choice of well-known hotels, so many visitors stay in the nearby city of Antwerp and travel on from there. Two long-established options in Antwerp are the Hilton Antwerp Old Town, set in the historic centre, and the Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station. Both are widely known and easy to reach by car, so we can drop you directly at the entrance if you prefer to base yourself in the city.
