Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Grand Manil

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Grand Manil

The route covers 24 km (15 miles) and typically takes about 22 minutes by road. That makes it a short hop, and one that is easy to fit around an early arrival or a late departure. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, when traffic around the Charleroi and Namur corridors can slow down. If you are heading to the airport for a flight, plan a comfortable buffer before check-in and security rather than working to the minute.

Which vehicle suits your group

Solo travellers, couples and small families can choose a private taxi: one version takes up to 3 passengers and another takes up to 4. For bigger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, and a 40-, 48-, 56- or 64-seater is the choice for a full coach-sized group. Passengers with several suitcases or sports equipment should mention it when booking so the vehicle is matched to the luggage as well as the headcount. This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request just like any other transfer.

Grand Manil as a destination

Grand Manil is a village in the municipality of Gembloux, in the province of Namur, Wallonia. It has a rural, largely agricultural setting, and it is a quiet contrast to the airport and to Brussels. Because it is a small place, it is worth keeping the exact address or a pinned location ready for your driver, especially if you are going to a farm, a private home or a business site on a side road. A precise address helps the driver reach the right door without detours at the end of the ride.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage and entered the arrivals area. If you cannot see the sign straight away, stay near the café and your driver will find you.
