Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Kwaadmechelen

The Drive from Charleroi to Kwaadmechelen

The route covers 151 km (94 miles) and typically takes 1 h 31 m. You travel from the south of Belgium across to the province of Limburg in the north-east of the country, so this is a long transfer rather than a quick hop. Brussels and Leuven lie along the way, and the ring road around the capital is the main place where traffic can slow you down. If you have a fixed appointment, a connecting event or an early check-in, allow a buffer for morning and late-afternoon rush hours. Your driver follows the current traffic and picks the sensible way.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and the luggage you bring. Groups of five or more travel in a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, which covers everything from a family reunion to a full coach-size party. Choose the seat count that gives your group and bags enough room. After a flight, and with a drive of roughly an hour and a half ahead, extra space makes the ride more comfortable.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: private minibus with 8 seats
• 9 passengers or more: private minibus with 16 to 64 seats

About Kwaadmechelen

Kwaadmechelen is a village in the municipality of Ham, in the Flemish province of Limburg. The surrounding area is flat and green, typical of the Kempen region, with quiet roads, woodland and farmland. It is a residential place rather than a tourist centre, so most visitors come to see family, to work in the region or to attend a local event. Have the exact street address ready when you book, because a door-to-door transfer saves you from searching for local connections once you arrive.

This route is booked less often than the busy airport runs, but it is available on request in the same way as any other transfer.
