Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Casteau

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Casteau

Casteau lies 46 km (29 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey typically takes around 35 minutes. This is a less frequently requested route, but it is available on request like any other transfer, so you can arrange it ahead of your arrival or departure. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, and add a buffer if you need to be at the airport for a departing flight.

Casteau as a destination

Casteau is a small village in the municipality of Soignies, in the province of Hainaut. It is best known as the home of SHAPE, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, the NATO military headquarters. Many of our passengers on this route are travelling for work connected to the base, for meetings or for visits to people stationed there. The city of Mons is close by, and the surrounding area is mostly quiet and green.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is available in two options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or with a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your group and baggage, so everyone has room to travel comfortably.

If you are heading to a secure site such as SHAPE, give the exact address or entrance details when you book. This helps the driver plan the final part of the trip and avoids delays on arrival.
