Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hekelgem

The drive from Charleroi to Hekelgem

The trip covers 73 km (46 miles) and typically takes about 50 minutes. Your driver heads north from Charleroi and reaches Hekelgem in the Flemish countryside, west of Brussels. Hekelgem is a less frequently booked destination, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours. The busy roads around Brussels can slow the last part of the journey, and a flexible buffer is sensible if you have a fixed appointment on arrival.

Meeting Point

After you collect your luggage, your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find from the baggage area, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and families with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers, useful when you carry extra bags or travel with several adults.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats) for tour parties, wedding guests, company outings and other larger groups.

When you book, enter the full number of passengers and mention bulky items such as prams, golf bags or sports equipment so the right vehicle is assigned.
