Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Haasrode

The drive from Charleroi to Haasrode

The route covers 59 km (37 miles) and typically takes about 56 minutes by road. Haasrode lies just outside Leuven, so the last part of the journey runs through the Leuven area. Traffic around Brussels and on the approach to Leuven is heaviest during the morning and late afternoon rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a meeting, a flight or a train to catch. This route is booked less often than the big airport corridors, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is available for either 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Pick the 4-passenger option if you have a bit more luggage or want extra space. Larger parties, such as conference delegates, school trips and company teams, can choose a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Just match the seat count to your number of travellers, and remember to count luggage as well as people.

Haasrode as a destination

Haasrode is a village in Flemish Brabant, close to Leuven. It is best known for its research park, which attracts business visitors, academics and people working with the nearby university and companies. Many travellers who book this transfer are heading to a meeting or conference in the Leuven area, while others are simply visiting friends or family. A private transfer takes you directly to your address without any changes along the way.

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, a hotel in a converted historic building in the city centre

• Park Inn by Radisson Leuven, a modern hotel popular with business travellers
