Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Deurle

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Deurle

Deurle lies 111 km (69 miles) from the airport, and the drive normally takes around 1 h 16 m. Most of the route is on motorway, heading north through Belgium towards East Flanders. Rush hours around Brussels and Ghent can slow traffic, as can roadworks and bad weather. If you have a tight connection, such as a business meeting, a wedding or a restaurant booking, plan some extra time. This route is not booked as often as the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and the trip is arranged for your arrival time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A private taxi suits smaller parties. There are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, which is practical for couples, families or colleagues travelling with luggage. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. They suit wedding guests, sports teams, company outings and tour groups. Let us know your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, so the right vehicle is sent.
