Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Genappe

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), holding a sign with your name on it. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from CRL to Genappe

Genappe lies 19 km (12 miles) from the airport, and the trip usually takes about 21 minutes. The route is short and straightforward, so you are at your address quickly after landing. Allow a little extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, or in bad weather, particularly if you have to reach an appointment or a connection on time. This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver is arranged specifically for your journey.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to three travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option, and a four-passenger taxi gives a little more room for luggage and a fourth person. Families with several suitcases, or groups travelling together, can book a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Choose the size that matches your party and baggage, and tell us about any special luggage when you book so that the driver can plan for it.

About Genappe

Genappe is a municipality in the province of Walloon Brabant, in the French-speaking part of Belgium. It sits along the old road between Brussels and Charleroi and is a mostly residential area with villages and farmland around it. It is best known for its place in the history of the 1815 Waterloo campaign: the Quatre-Bras crossroads belongs to the municipality, and the battlefield sites of the period are close by. Visitors often come for the history, for business in the region, or to see family and friends.
