Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Bunsbeek

The drive from Charleroi to Bunsbeek

The route covers 79 km (49 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 9 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading north from Charleroi and then east towards Flemish Brabant, before the last stretch on local roads into the village. Bunsbeek is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request just like any other route. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven are busiest, and in bad weather.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: there are options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, the private minibus with 8 seats gives everyone room to spread out. For bigger parties such as wedding guests, sports teams or company groups, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Tell us your group size when you book and we will match the vehicle to it.

Bunsbeek and where to stay nearby

Bunsbeek is a small, quiet village in the municipality of Glabbeek in Flemish Brabant, surrounded by farmland and gentle countryside. It has little in the way of large hotels, so many visitors stay in the university city of Leuven, a short drive away, which has well-established accommodation:

• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a full-service hotel close to the city centre
• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a former convent in the historic centre
• Ibis Leuven Centrum, a practical option near the station

If you are visiting family or friends in Bunsbeek itself, your driver can take you straight to the door of the address you give us.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the 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 walk over and meet your driver without delay.
