Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Heverlee

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the 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 meet without any searching.

The Drive from Charleroi to Heverlee

The route covers 61 km (38 miles) and usually takes about 59 minutes. Most of the way follows the motorway network north towards Leuven, then leaves it for the quieter roads of Heverlee on the southern edge of the city. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can add noticeable time, so allow a buffer if you have a meeting, an exam or a connection to make. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the journey is arranged privately door to door.

Vehicle choice depends on the size of your party and your luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and families
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for small groups with extra bags
• Private Minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for conferences, student groups, tours and events

Tell us your passenger count and amount of luggage when booking, and we will match the vehicle.

About Heverlee

Heverlee is a district of Leuven, a university city in Flemish Brabant. It is closely linked to KU Leuven, whose Arenberg campus lies here, and it is known for the Arenberg Castle and its grounds, the Abbey of Park and the green Heverlee Woods. The area feels calmer than the historic centre, with student housing, residential streets and plenty of walking paths. The centre of Leuven is only a short ride away.

Where to Stay near Heverlee

Heverlee is mostly residential and student-oriented, so most hotels are in neighbouring Leuven, just a few minutes away. Well-known choices there include:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted historic cloister close to the centre
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a larger international hotel near the city centre
• ibis Leuven Centrum, a practical option close to the train station

Give your driver the exact hotel or street address at booking, so the drop-off point is clear.
