Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hakendover

The drive from Charleroi to Hakendover

The route covers 76 km (47 miles) and typically takes 1 h 2 m. Most of it runs on motorways north-east from Charleroi, passing south and east of Brussels before reaching the Flemish Brabant countryside around Tienen. Traffic around the Brussels ring can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is wise to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a tour start or an event at the other end. Your driver follows the quickest route at the time of travel.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or in a bigger party, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up in steps of eight through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, up to 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, pilgrimage groups, school trips and company outings. When booking, give the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, and the matching vehicle will be arranged.

About Hakendover

Hakendover is a small village that forms part of the city of Tienen in Flemish Brabant. It is a quiet, rural setting known above all for its historic church, and it attracts visitors who come for the calm surroundings, walks through the fields and local religious heritage. Because the village is small, it helps to give your driver the exact street address or the name of the venue when you book, so the drop-off is right at the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver will be waiting at the Starbucks inside Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage and walked into the arrivals area. Simply look for the sign with your name on it.
