Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hoogstade

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 your driver without any searching.

The Drive to Hoogstade

The route covers 168 km (105 miles) and typically takes 1 h 53 m. Hoogstade lies in the far west of Flanders, so most of the journey is a long westbound run across Belgium. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Heavy traffic around Brussels or Ghent at rush hour, or bad weather, can add time, so it is wise to allow a buffer if you have a connection, an appointment or a check-in deadline.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, families or small business trips, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups that travel with a lot of luggage may prefer to step up to a minibus. Minibuses start at 8 seats and continue through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats up to 64 seats, so wedding parties, school trips, sports teams and company outings are all covered. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

About Hoogstade

Hoogstade is a small village in the Westhoek region of West Flanders, part of the municipality of Alveringem. The landscape is flat and rural, with farmland and quiet country roads, and the French border is not far away. Expect a calm setting rather than a busy tourist centre, and keep the exact address handy so your driver can take you right to the door.

Places to Stay Nearby

Hoogstade itself is very small, so visitors usually look to the nearby town of Poperinge, a short drive away. Two well-known names there are:

• Talbot House – the historic First World War rest house, which also offers guest accommodation and draws many visitors to the Westhoek.
• Hotel Recour – a long-established hotel in the centre of Poperinge.

If you stay in Poperinge, tell us at booking and we can arrange the drop-off there instead.
