Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Imde

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Imde

The route covers 414 km (258 miles), and the typical driving time is 4 h 17 m. On a transfer of this length it pays to plan ahead. Allow extra time if you travel during morning or evening rush hours, on Friday afternoons or in busy holiday periods, because traffic can add noticeably to the journey. This is a less frequently booked route, so it is arranged on request, like any other. Book in advance and have your arrival time and the full address in Imde ready. You travel door to door without changing vehicles, which is a real advantage after a flight. On a drive this long, plan a short break if you need one.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you pick should match your group and your luggage, since you will spend over four hours on board. These options are available for this route:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples, and small families
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers, with more room for bags and legroom
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 Seats for groups of up to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 passengers

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle and carry a lot of luggage, choose the next size up for a more comfortable ride.

About Imde

Imde is a small destination rather than a busy tourist centre, so there is little point in relying on a landmark or a general area name. Have the exact street address or the name of your host or venue to hand, and your driver can take you straight to the door. If the place is hard to find, a contact phone number for your host also helps on arrival.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.
