Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Egem

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Egem

The route covers 86 km (53 miles) and usually takes around 56 minutes. You travel from the Walloon side of the country into West Flanders, so the road moves from the Charleroi area towards the flatter, greener landscape around Pittem and Tielt. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, when the Brussels ring and the motorways nearby tend to slow down, and in bad weather. Because the transfer is private, the driver takes you straight to your address in Egem without stops or changes.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is available in two versions: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Choose the second if you are travelling with four people or carrying a lot of luggage. If your group is bigger, minibuses are offered with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so the vehicle can be matched to the exact number of travellers, whether it is a family gathering, a wedding party, a sports team or a company outing. When you book, state the number of passengers and any bulky items such as prams, instruments or sports gear.

About Egem

Egem is a small village in West Flanders and forms part of the municipality of Pittem. The surroundings are rural, with farmland, quiet lanes and a calm pace of life that contrasts with the busy airport you leave behind. It is not a tourist hub, so most visitors come to see family and friends, attend local events, or use it as a base for exploring the wider region. Please give the driver the full street address when you book, as smaller villages can have similar road names in neighbouring places.
