Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Handzame

The drive from Charleroi to Handzame

The route covers 158 km (99 miles) and typically takes 1 h 44 m. You leave the Walloon side of the country and cross Brabant and East Flanders before reaching the flatter farmland of West Flanders. Because the journey runs through the busy corridor around Brussels and Ghent, it is sensible to allow extra time if you travel at weekday rush hours, on Friday afternoons or in poor weather. Handzame is not a place most visitors fly into every day, so a door-to-door transfer saves you from piecing together several local connections at the end of a flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one option seats up to three passengers, another up to four, which helps when you carry extra suitcases. Groups of up to eight people can book an 8-seat minibus. For bigger parties such as wedding guests, school trips, sports clubs or company teams, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available on request. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your trip.

About Handzame

Handzame is a small village in the municipality of Kortemark in West Flanders. The surroundings are rural and quiet, with fields, country roads and typical Flemish village scenery. Do not expect a large choice of shops or restaurants on the spot; larger towns such as Torhout, Diksmuide and Roeselare are within a short drive if you need more facilities. Giving your exact street address when you book helps the driver find the right door without delay.
