Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Glabbeek

The drive from Charleroi to Glabbeek

The route covers 82 km (51 miles) and typically takes 1 h 12 m. You travel from the Walloon side of the country to the Flemish countryside in Flemish Brabant, so the trip crosses the Brussels region or passes close to it. Glabbeek is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but we arrange this transfer on request just like any other route. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven is heaviest at weekday rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch, or a meeting at the other end.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, look for the Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign, so you can spot them straight away.

Which vehicle suits your group

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: gives a party of up to eight people more space for bags and a more relaxed ride.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, sports teams, company events and other larger groups.

If you are unsure which size to choose, count passengers and large suitcases together and pick the next size up. That way nobody is cramped on a journey of more than an hour.

About Glabbeek

Glabbeek is a small, rural municipality in Flemish Brabant, east of Leuven. It is a quiet area of fields, villages and country roads rather than a big tourist destination. Most visitors come to see family or friends, to attend a private event, or to work in the surrounding region. Because public transport in small villages like this can be limited, a private transfer takes you directly to your address without any changes. It is helpful to have the exact street address and a phone number ready when you book, so the driver can find rural locations without delay.
