Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to ibis Styles Brussels Centre Stephanie

The drive from CRL to central Brussels

The transfer covers 57 km (35 miles) and usually takes about 50 minutes. The route heads north from Charleroi towards the Brussels ring and then into the city centre. Most of it is motorway, and the last stretch runs through city streets towards the Stéphanie area near Avenue Louise.

Brussels traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and the final kilometres into town are the slowest. If you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection, add some extra time to the 50 minutes. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

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. Just head there and look for your name.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they have:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suitable for solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for groups of up to 8 with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus with 16 to 64 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64), for tour groups, school trips, teams and event delegations.

Please give the number of passengers and the amount of luggage when you book, so the right vehicle is ready.
