Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Koolskamp

The drive from Charleroi to Koolskamp

Koolskamp lies 148 km (92 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey by road typically takes 1 h 32 m. That is a fairly long ride, so it helps to settle in and treat it as a direct door-to-door trip with no changes and no luggage hauling between platforms. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during weekday commuter hours or in heavy rain, since traffic around Belgium's larger cities can slow things down. If you have a connecting appointment on arrival, build a little buffer into your plans.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It comes in two versions: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or bring a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This also suits wedding parties, company outings and sports teams heading to the Koolskamp area. When you book, count everyone in your party and consider suitcases, prams and sports equipment, so the vehicle you choose has enough room.

About Koolskamp

Koolskamp is a small village in the municipality of Ardooie, in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The surrounding landscape is flat and rural, with farmland and quiet local roads, and the area is Dutch-speaking. It is a peaceful base for visiting family or attending a local event. Because it is a small place, have the exact street address ready when you book so the driver can take you to the right door.

Meeting Point
