Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Grembergen

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Grembergen

The route covers 88 km (55 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 19 m. Most of it is on Belgian motorways, running north from Charleroi through the Brussels region and on towards East Flanders. Traffic around Brussels is the main variable. Weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours can add noticeable time, so allow a buffer if you have a tight connection, a business meeting or an event at the other end. Grembergen is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, and your driver knows the way.

Meeting point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly after arrivals.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): gives extra room for luggage or a slightly bigger party.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour groups, school trips, wedding parties and company outings.

If you are unsure which size fits, count not only passengers but also suitcases, prams and sports equipment, and choose the next category up when in doubt.

Grembergen as a destination

Grembergen is a village in the municipality of Dendermonde, in the Flemish province of East Flanders. It lies close to the river Scheldt, in a flat, green part of Belgium that is quieter than the big cities nearby. Dendermonde, with its historic town centre, is only a short distance away, and Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels can all be reached by road within a reasonable drive. For the drop-off, have the exact street address ready, as village streets can be narrow and a precise address helps your driver stop as close to the door as possible.
