Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Essene

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Essene

Essene lies 70 km (44 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey by road typically takes around 49 minutes. The route heads north towards the Brussels region and then continues into Flemish Brabant, so it is mostly a motorway drive followed by a short stretch on local roads. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down at weekday rush hours, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a connection, an appointment or an event at the other end.

This is a route that is booked less often than the big airport runs, but it is available on request just like any other, and your driver will plan it as a normal door-to-door transfer.

About Essene

Essene is a small village in the municipality of Asse in Flemish Brabant, west of Brussels. It is a quiet, rural setting with fields and countryside around it, which makes a private transfer far more practical than trying to piece together public transport for the last stretch. Give your driver the exact street address, and they will take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver will be waiting at Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without any detour or confusion.
