Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Izegem

The drive from Charleroi to Izegem

The route covers 138 km (86 miles) and typically takes 1 h 28 m by road. Izegem lies in West Flanders, so the journey runs from the Walloon south of Belgium into the Flemish west, crossing much of the country. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver follows the quickest road for the day.

Allow extra time if your trip falls in the morning or late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent tend to be busier. Heavy rain or roadworks can also lengthen the trip. If you have a fixed appointment in Izegem, such as a business meeting or a family event, plan a comfortable buffer rather than counting on the minimum time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simple choice, and a second taxi option covers up to four passengers with a bit more space for luggage. Groups of up to eight can travel in a private minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, so the vehicle fits everyone and everything.
