Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Gijzenzele

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, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Gijzenzele

Gijzenzele lies 94 km (59 miles) from the airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 1 m. The route runs north through Wallonia and into East Flanders. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush, when traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down. If you have a connection to catch after the transfer, add a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties there are two private taxi options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Groups of 5 or more can choose from private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so the vehicle can be matched to the exact number of travellers and the luggage they bring. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign the right vehicle.

Gijzenzele and Where to Stay Nearby

Gijzenzele is a small village in the municipality of Oosterzele in East Flanders, a quiet, green area of fields and country roads southeast of Ghent. It is a place for a peaceful stay rather than sightseeing, and most visitors come to see family, attend an event or explore the Flemish countryside.

I cannot name well-known hotels in Gijzenzele itself with confidence. The nearest major town with a wide choice of accommodation is Ghent, where established options include:

• NH Gent Belfort, in the historic centre
• Marriott Ghent Hotel, on the Korenlei by the river
• Hotel Gravensteen, a hotel in a converted mansion near the old town

Share the exact address of your accommodation when booking, so the driver can plan the final stretch to your door.
