Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Boortmeerbeek

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over and meet your driver.

The Drive from Charleroi to Boortmeerbeek

The route covers 89 km (56 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 5 m. You travel north from Charleroi towards the Brussels ring and then on towards the area between Mechelen and Leuven, where Boortmeerbeek lies. Boortmeerbeek is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but we arrange it on request like any other address.

Traffic around the Brussels ring can add time, especially during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a flight to catch from the Boortmeerbeek side, plan some extra margin. Your driver follows the live road situation and picks the best way through.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Four people with a normal amount of luggage are usually more comfortable in the 1-4 version, so choose according to how many bags you have.

For groups with more people or more luggage, we offer a Private Minibus in sizes from 8 up to 64 seats:

• 8 Seats (1-8 passengers)
• 16 Seats (1-16 passengers)
• 24 Seats (1-24 passengers)
• 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 Seats for school trips, company events, clubs and larger gatherings

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

About Boortmeerbeek and Where to Stay

Boortmeerbeek is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in a mostly residential and green part of Flanders between Mechelen and Leuven. It is a quiet place rather than a major tourist destination, and most visitors come to see family, friends or local businesses.

Accommodation within Boortmeerbeek itself is limited, so many visitors stay in the nearby university city of Leuven. Well-known options there include:

• Martin's Klooster, a hotel set in a restored historic building
• Hotel Ibis Leuven Centrum, close to the city centre
• Pentahotel Leuven, a modern hotel in the city

Give your driver the exact address when you book, whether it is a private home, an office or a hotel in Leuven, and the transfer will take you directly to the door.
