Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Écaussinnes-d’Enghien

The drive from CRL to Écaussinnes-d’Enghien

The route covers 31 km (20 miles) and typically takes about 25 minutes. It is a fairly short run into the Hainaut countryside, so you can be at your address soon after landing. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, when traffic around Charleroi and on the regional roads can slow down. This route is booked less often than the major Brussels runs, but it is available on request like any other, so it is best to reserve ahead so your driver is scheduled for your arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers, the other 1-4 passengers. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, check the passenger count carefully and choose the next size up where needed. For groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so the vehicle can be matched to your party, whether it is a wedding group, a team or a family reunion. Tell us the number of passengers and bags when you book and we will confirm the right fit.

About Écaussinnes-d’Enghien

Écaussinnes-d’Enghien is a small municipality in the province of Hainaut, between Brussels and Mons. It is a quiet, largely rural area, well known for its local bluestone (petit granit) quarrying tradition and for the medieval Château fort d’Écaussinnes-Lalaing, which is a notable local landmark. As the area is residential and spread out, giving your driver the exact street address in advance helps ensure a smooth drop-off at the door.
