Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lauwe

The drive from Charleroi to Lauwe

The route covers 127 km (79 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 24 m. You travel from the Walloon side of the country to the far west of Flanders, so most of the trip is on motorway. Weekday rush hours and traffic around Brussels can add time, so plan some margin if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make at the other end. This is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will track your arrival.

Meeting point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without a long search.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits couples, families and business travellers with luggage. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, depending on the number of people. This works well for wedding guests, company events or club trips heading to the Kortrijk and Menen area. When you book, state the exact number of passengers and any bulky luggage so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Lauwe
