Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Heide

The Drive from Charleroi to Heide

The route covers 128 km (80 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 31 m. Heide lies in the north of the province of Antwerp, so the journey crosses most of Belgium from south to north. That makes it a long transfer by local standards. It is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other.

The stated driving time assumes normal conditions. The roads around Brussels and Antwerp are among the busiest in the country, so allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours. This matters most if you have a connecting appointment, a ferry or a check-in deadline at the other end.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party size and luggage. If you are travelling with several suitcases, sports equipment or children's gear, choose the larger option rather than filling the boot to its limit.

Groups of five or more can book a private minibus. The smallest has 8 seats, and further sizes run in steps of 8 seats up to 64 seats, which suits tour groups, school trips, clubs and company outings. Tell us your exact group size and the amount of luggage when you book so we can match the vehicle to your trip.

Heide as a Destination

Heide is a village in the municipality of Kalmthout, close to the Dutch border. It is best known for its location beside the Kalmthoutse Heide, a large area of heathland and woodland that attracts walkers and cyclists. The area is quiet and green, so a door-to-door transfer is practical. There are no big transport hubs nearby, and your driver will take you straight to your address. Please give us the full street address at booking, since the village has many residential lanes and forest roads.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Charleroi Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Head there after baggage reclaim and look for your name on the sign.
