Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Colfontaine

The Drive from CRL to Colfontaine

The journey covers 56 km (35 miles) and usually takes about 43 minutes. It is a regional trip within the province of Hainaut, so you stay in Wallonia the whole way. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, build in a small buffer. Your driver follows the most practical route on the day, so you can sit back after landing.

Meeting Point at the Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big Brussels runs, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle you choose depends only on the size of your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for solo travellers, couples and families.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats for friends, extended families and small business groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus with 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour parties, clubs, school trips, wedding guests and company events.

If your group sits between two sizes, or you are carrying sports gear, instruments or oversized cases, pick the larger option so everyone has room.

About Colfontaine

Colfontaine is a municipality in the Borinage region of Hainaut, close to Mons. It is made up of several villages, including Pâturages, Wasmes, Warquignies and Français. The area is known for its former coal-mining heritage. Today it is mostly residential, with green spaces and quiet streets. Having a private driver is handy here, because a door-to-door transfer saves you from searching for local connections after a flight. Please give your driver the exact street address when you book, since the municipality spreads across several separate villages.
