Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Eksel

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign.

The Drive from Charleroi to Eksel

Eksel lies 168 km (105 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey normally takes around 1 h 48 m. Most of the way is on motorway, so the trip is straightforward, but traffic around the Brussels area and on the main Flemish motorways can slow things down at weekday rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment, a connecting journey or an event in Eksel, it is sensible to allow some extra time beyond the standard estimate.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Your driver takes you directly to your address, with no changes and no waiting for connections after a flight.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version is set up for 1-3 passengers and another for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a bigger party, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your group and the luggage you bring, and if you are unsure which fits best, mention your passenger and bag numbers when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Eksel

Eksel is a village in the municipality of Hechtel-Eksel, in the province of Limburg in Flanders. It sits in the Kempen region, an area known for heathland, pine forest and flat, quiet countryside not far from the Dutch border. Expect a calm, rural setting rather than a busy city, so it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver, especially if your destination is on a smaller residential road or a countryside estate.
