Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Kotem

The drive from Charleroi to Kotem

The route covers 144 km (90 miles) and typically takes 1 h 42 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading east across Belgium from the Charleroi area towards the province of Limburg. Kotem is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, especially where the motorways pass the Brussels and Liège regions, or in bad weather. If you have a connecting appointment or check-in time in Kotem, it is sensible to build in a buffer after landing.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for solo travellers, couples and families.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats for friends, extended families or small business groups.
• Private Minibus with 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour groups, teams, school trips and events.

If you are unsure which option suits you, tell us the number of passengers and bags when you book and we will match the vehicle.

About Kotem

Kotem is a village in the municipality of Maasmechelen, in Belgian Limburg, close to the Dutch border and the river Meuse. The area is quiet and green, and the wider municipality is known for the Maasmechelen Village shopping outlet and for its proximity to the Hoge Kempen National Park. A door-to-door private transfer is practical here, since the village is a long way from the airport and has no simple direct link by public transport.
