Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Genval

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Genval

The route covers 35 km (22 miles) and usually takes around 39 minutes. Genval lies in Walloon Brabant, south-east of Brussels, so the journey stays largely outside the capital's busiest centre. Even so, weekday rush hours and bad weather can slow traffic on the approach roads, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a meeting, a check-in time or a connection to catch. This is an occasionally booked route, and we plan each trip around your actual arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one option seats up to 3 passengers and another up to 4. If you have several suitcases or are travelling with colleagues, a private minibus with 8 seats gives you more room. For conference delegations, wedding parties, school trips or other bigger groups, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available. Pick the size by passenger count and luggage, and you will have plenty of space for the ride.

Genval as a destination

Genval is a village in the municipality of Rixensart. It is best known for the Lac de Genval, an artificial lake with a walking path around its shore, and for its conference and business setting. The area is green and calm, with a residential feel, which makes it a popular choice for corporate events and weekend breaks near Brussels.
