Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Heffen

The drive from Charleroi to Heffen

The route covers 88 km (55 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 1 m. Heffen is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Traffic around Brussels and on the Mechelen side can slow things down during the morning and evening rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a flight to catch on the way back.

Meeting point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your trip.

Heffen and where to stay nearby

Heffen is a quiet village that forms part of the city of Mechelen in the province of Antwerp. It has a residential, green character, and the historic centre of Mechelen is only a short ride away. We cannot name well-known long-established hotels in Heffen itself with confidence, so here are two in the nearest town, Mechelen:

• Martin's Patershof, a hotel set in a former convent in Mechelen
• Ibis Mechelen Centrum, a practical option close to the city centre

Give your driver the full address of your accommodation or destination when booking. This makes the drop-off at the door straightforward, whether you stay in Heffen or in Mechelen.
