Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Borsbeke

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Borsbeke

Borsbeke lies 89 km (55 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey by road typically takes around 1 hour. The route leads north from Charleroi through Wallonia and into Flanders, so it crosses the busy Brussels region before reaching the quieter countryside around your destination. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow traffic near the capital, so if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, it is sensible to leave a little extra margin.

A private transfer takes you from the terminal to the door of your address in one go, with no changes and no need to carry luggage between stations or stops.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available in two versions: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The second option gives a little more room for suitcases when four people are travelling together.

Bigger groups can choose from a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats (1-8 passengers)
• 16 seats (1-16 passengers)
• 24 seats (1-24 passengers)
• 32 seats (1-32 passengers)
• 40 seats (1-40 passengers)
• 48 seats (1-48 passengers)
• 56 seats (1-56 passengers)
• 64 seats (1-64 passengers)

Families with a lot of luggage, wedding parties, school trips and company groups all use these vehicles. Just pick the size that matches your number of passengers when you book.

About Borsbeke

Borsbeke is a village in the Flemish province of East Flanders and part of the municipality of Herzele. It is a rural, residential area rather than a tourist hotspot, with the cities of Aalst and Ghent within reach by road. This route is booked less often than the airport's busiest ones, but it is available on request like any other, so you can arrange it ahead of your arrival.

Meeting Point
