Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hoegaarden

The drive from CRL to Hoegaarden

Hoegaarden is 69 km (43 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the drive typically takes about 55 minutes. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other. Your driver follows the road network east and north towards Flemish Brabant, so a direct private car saves you from planning a multi-leg trip with luggage. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, or in poor weather, as traffic around the Brussels region can slow things down.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on your group size and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi: 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to couples, families and small business parties.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: up to 8 passengers with comfortable space for bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour groups, wedding parties, company events and other big gatherings.

If you are unsure which option fits, choose the next size up when you have bulky luggage such as sports equipment or musical instruments.

About Hoegaarden

Hoegaarden is a small village in Flemish Brabant, known around the world for the white beer that carries its name. Its central square is the heart of the village and a pleasant place to sit outside with a drink. The surrounding countryside is quiet and green, which makes it a relaxed base for a short break.

Where to stay nearby

Hoegaarden itself is small, and I cannot name hotels there with enough confidence. The nearest larger town with well-known accommodation is Leuven, a short drive away. Two established options there are Martin's Klooster, a hotel in a converted historic building, and the Leuven Marriott Hotel in the town centre. Tell us your exact address when booking, so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage and walked into the arrivals area.
