Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Erquelinnes

The Drive from CRL to Erquelinnes

Erquelinnes lies 47 km (29 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the trip normally takes about 42 minutes by road. This route is booked less often than others from CRL, but it is available on request like any other. Your driver knows the way and handles the navigation, so you can settle in after landing. Allow some extra time at rush hour on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and in poor winter weather, especially if you have a train, ferry or appointment to reach after arrival.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Just walk over and look for your name.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you carry. Options include:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for groups up to 8 passengers who want extra space for bags.
• Private Minibus with 16 to 64 seats, available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64), for tour parties, school trips, clubs, wedding guests and company events.

When you book, give the exact number of passengers and mention any bulky luggage, such as sports equipment, strollers or several large suitcases. That lets us assign a vehicle with enough room.

About Erquelinnes

Erquelinnes is a small municipality in the Belgian province of Hainaut, right on the border with France. The French town of Jeumont is just across the line, and the area sits in the Sambre valley. It is a quiet, largely residential place, so it helps to have the full street address or a landmark ready when you book. That way the driver can take you to the door without delay. The same applies for the return trip to the airport: confirm the pickup address and a realistic departure time in advance, and plan to arrive at CRL with a comfortable margin before your flight.
