Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lampernisse

The Drive from Charleroi to Lampernisse

The journey from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) to Lampernisse covers 189 km (118 miles) and typically takes 1 h 59 m by road. That is a long ride after a flight, so a private transfer means you can sit back instead of working out connections with luggage. Travel times are a guide only: morning and evening rush hours, roadworks or bad weather can add time, so it is wise to allow a buffer if you have a fixed appointment, a ferry or a dinner reservation at the other end. This is a route we book less frequently than the big city runs, but it is available on request just like any other, and the driver knows the way.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and your luggage. A private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits individual travellers, couples and families. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Wedding parties, sports teams, school trips and company groups can therefore travel together on the same transfer. If you carry bulky items such as bicycles, golf bags or several large suitcases, mention it when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Lampernisse

Lampernisse is a small village in the Westhoek, the western corner of Flanders in West Flanders province, not far from the French border. The surroundings are flat, open farmland with quiet country roads, and the area is known for cycling and for its First World War history. Because the village is small, it is helpful to give your driver the exact street address or the name of the place you are visiting when you book. That way the last stretch on rural roads goes smoothly, and you are dropped right at your door rather than in the village centre.
