Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Heestert

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

After you have collected your luggage, head to the Starbucks inside the terminal, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.

The Drive from Charleroi to Heestert

The route covers 110 km (69 miles) and typically takes 1 h 20 m. It leads from Hainaut across to the western part of Flanders, so the road changes from the Walloon landscape near the airport to flatter, more densely settled countryside near the destination. Heestert is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, and the trip is arranged as a private door-to-door transfer.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late afternoon rush hours, when traffic around the Brussels ring and the main motorways slows down. Bad weather can also add some minutes, so it is wise not to schedule a tight appointment right after arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Pick the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for groups of up to eight with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, company events, and tour groups.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the next one up when you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or prams.

Heestert and Where to Stay Nearby

Heestert is a small village in West Flanders, part of the municipality of Zwevegem, in a quiet, rural area. It has little in the way of large hotels, so many visitors stay in Kortrijk, the nearest larger town, and travel on from there.

In Kortrijk, two established choices are:

• Parkhotel Kortrijk, a well-known hotel close to the city centre.
• Hotel Messeyne, a long-standing hotel in the historic centre.

Tell us the exact address when you book, whether it is a private home in Heestert, a venue, or a hotel in Kortrijk, and the driver will take you straight to the door.
