Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Comines

The drive from Charleroi to Comines

Comines is 143 km (89 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 35 m. The road leads northwest across the province of Hainaut towards the French border, so this is a proper long-distance transfer rather than a quick hop. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours and in poor weather, as traffic in the Lille and Kortrijk area can slow the final stretch. This route is booked less often than the major city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and a private car means you travel door to door without changing vehicles.

Which vehicle suits your group

Solo travellers, couples and small families usually book a Private Taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, choose the larger option so everyone rides comfortably.

For bigger parties, the Private Minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, up to 64 seats. This suits school trips, sports teams, wedding guests, company delegations and family reunions. Pick the size that matches your headcount plus luggage, and tell us about any special baggage when you book.

Comines as a destination

Comines belongs to the municipality of Comines-Warneton in Wallonia, right on the border with France. The river Lys runs along the frontier, and the French town of Comines lies directly on the opposite bank. The area is flat, green farmland, close to Mouscron, Kortrijk, Ypres and Lille, which makes it a convenient base for visiting both western Flanders and northern France. Visitors come for family visits, business in the border region and trips to the nearby battlefield sites and cities.
