Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to De Haan

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can walk straight over and be on your way.

The Drive from Charleroi to De Haan

The route covers 160 km (100 miles) and typically takes 1 h 46 m. You travel from the Hainaut region across Belgium to the North Sea coast, so the journey is a long one and a direct private car saves you from planning several connections with luggage. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Allow some extra time if you travel on a sunny summer weekend or during a public holiday, when roads towards the coast tend to get busier. The same applies around the Brussels area at rush hour. If you have a ferry, event or check-in time to meet, build in a comfortable buffer.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice when you travel with more luggage or want extra space on a two-hour ride.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, clubs and company outings heading to the coast.

Pick the option that matches your passenger count, and remember to consider suitcases and sports or beach gear as well.

De Haan and Where to Stay

De Haan is a seaside town on the Belgian coast, known for its Belle Époque villas, wide sandy beach and calm, well-kept character. It is a popular spot for walks along the dunes and relaxed weekends by the sea.

Two well-known places to stay in De Haan are:

• Grand Hotel Belle Vue: a long-established hotel in the traditional coastal style, close to the centre and the sea.
• Hotel Manoir Carpe Diem: a characterful hotel set in the town's historic villa surroundings.

Give your driver the exact hotel or villa address when you book, since many streets in De Haan are narrow and some areas close to the centre have restricted traffic.
