The Drive from Charleroi to Dendermonde

The route covers 82 km (51 miles) and typically takes 1 h 14 m. Most of it runs on motorway, heading north past the Brussels area before turning towards East Flanders. The Brussels ring and the approach roads are the usual trouble spots, and weekday morning and late afternoon traffic can add a good deal to the journey. If you have an appointment or a connection in Dendermonde, build in a comfortable margin. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver follows the same door-to-door approach as on busier routes.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is the simple choice, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you carry a lot of luggage, pick the larger taxi option or step up to a minibus. Groups can choose from a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit business delegations, wedding parties, school trips and club outings alike. Tell us your passenger count and luggage when you request the transfer, and we will match the vehicle to your group.

About Dendermonde

Dendermonde is a historic town in East Flanders, set where the river Dender flows into the Scheldt. It is best known for the Ros Beiaard, the legendary horse carried through the streets in a traditional procession. The Grote Markt with its town hall and belfry is the natural centre for a walk, and the Begijnhof is a quiet corner worth a visit. The town is compact, so most sights are easy to reach on foot once you arrive.

Where to Stay Nearby

Dendermonde has only a small choice of well-known hotels, so many visitors stay in nearby Ghent instead. Established options there include NH Gent Belfort, close to the medieval centre, and Hotel Gravensteen, set in a converted historic townhouse. Another familiar name is Ibis Gent Centrum Opera, convenient for the station and the old town. Let us know your hotel address when booking and the driver will take you straight there.
