Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Harelbeke

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there directly after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Harelbeke

The route covers 130 km (81 miles) and typically takes 1 h 26 m. It crosses Wallonia and then runs into West Flanders, so the last stretch depends on traffic around Kortrijk. Allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when ring roads and motorway approaches get busy. Harelbeke is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

• Private Taxi: for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to couples, families and business travellers with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for a small group with extra bags.
• Larger minibuses (16 to 64 seats): available for team trips, events and company visits, so you can match the vehicle to your party.

Where to Stay Near Harelbeke

Well-established options there include Hotel Damier on the Grote Markt and Hotel Messeyne in the city centre. Both are familiar names for visitors to the region. Give your driver the exact address when booking, and the transfer can go straight to the door.
