Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Le Centenaire Apparthotel Hotel, Brussels

The drive from Charleroi to Brussels

The route from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to Le Centenaire Apparthotel covers 65 km (41 miles). Under normal conditions the drive takes about 48 minutes. Most of the journey is on the motorway towards the capital, and the last stretch runs through city traffic. If you arrive during the morning or late-afternoon rush hour, allow some extra time, particularly if you have a meeting or a check-in deadline. This is a route we serve on request rather than a daily regular, so it helps to book ahead.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers and couples, a private taxi for 1-3 passengers is the simplest choice. A taxi for 1-4 passengers suits a small family or a group of friends with a few suitcases. When the party is bigger, we have private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your headcount and luggage. Tell us how many people are travelling and how many bags you have when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle.

Notable places to stay in Brussels

Brussels has a number of long-established hotels, mostly around the historic centre. Among the best known are the Hotel Metropole, a landmark on Place de Brouckère dating from the 19th century, the boutique Hotel Amigo close to the Grand-Place, and Le Plaza near the Botanique. If your stay is a business trip or a longer visit, an apparthotel such as Le Centenaire gives you a bit more space than a standard hotel room. Check the exact address on your booking confirmation so the driver can take you to the right entrance.

Meeting point

After you collect your luggage, head to the Starbucks inside the airport, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign. Just look for your name and you can start your journey straight away.
