Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ichtegem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in the terminal, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching.

The Drive from Charleroi to Ichtegem

The route covers 158 km (99 miles) and typically takes 1 h 44 m. It leads from the Walloon south across the centre of the country towards the West Flanders countryside, so it is a fairly long ride. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent tend to slow down, and on busy summer weekends when traffic heads for the coast. A private transfer saves you from planning around timetables, and you travel door to door.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to three passengers, a Private Taxi is the simplest option. A second taxi option takes up to four passengers, which suits a family or a small group with several suitcases. If you travel with more people, minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. They suit wedding parties, sports clubs, school trips and company groups heading for the region. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your trip.

Ichtegem and Where to Stay

Ichtegem is a quiet municipality in West Flanders, set in flat, green farmland not far from the coast and the historic city of Bruges. It is a calm base for cycling, countryside walks and day trips. Accommodation in Ichtegem itself is limited and mostly small-scale, so many visitors stay in nearby Ostend, a short drive away, where two well-known options are:

• Thermae Palace Hotel, a landmark hotel from the 1930s near the seafront
• Hotel Andromeda, a long-established hotel on the Ostend beachfront promenade

We can drop you at any address in Ichtegem, Ostend or the surrounding villages. Just give us the exact address when you book.
