Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Houtem

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Houtem

The route covers 183 km (114 miles), and the typical driving time is 2 h 2 m. That makes it a proper cross-country journey rather than a short hop, so it helps to plan your day around it. Belgian motorways around Brussels and Ghent are busy during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, and roadworks or an accident can add noticeable time. If you have a fixed appointment, an onward connection or a event at the other end, build in a buffer and do not plan to arrive at the last minute.

A private transfer is a practical choice on a route like this. You leave straight from the airport, there are no changes with luggage, and the driver handles navigation and parking at the destination. The route is booked less often than the busy Brussels runs, but it is available on request like any other, so simply tell us your flight arrival time and the exact address.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit. We offer a taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers, so choose by how many people and how many suitcases are travelling. If your party is bigger, or you have a lot of luggage, equipment or sports gear, step up to a minibus.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for groups of up to 8 passengers, such as extended families or colleagues travelling together.
• Minibuses with 16 to 64 seats: available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, clubs and company events.

Tell us the number of passengers when you book, and we will assign the vehicle that suits your group.

About Houtem

Houtem is a small place in Belgium, and the name is shared by more than one village in Flanders. To avoid any confusion, please give us the full street address or a clear landmark when you book, so the driver heads to the right Houtem and the exact door. Expect a quiet, rural setting rather than a big-city drop-off, which means a precise address is more useful than just the place name.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go there directly without searching around the terminal.
