Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Dormaal

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Dormaal

The route covers 78 km (48 miles) and typically takes 1 h 7 m by road. Dormaal lies in Flemish Brabant, so the journey leads north from the Walloon side of the country into Flanders, mostly on motorways. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Traffic around Brussels and on the main Flemish motorways can slow things down during the morning and late afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment in Dormaal, add a buffer to the standard driving time. A private transfer lets you leave straight after you land, without planning around connections.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you are travelling with four people or a lot of luggage.

Bigger groups can choose from private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits families, wedding parties, school trips, sports teams and company outings heading to the area. Pick the seat count that matches your group size, and tell us about any special luggage when you book.
