Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lede

The drive from Charleroi to Lede

The route covers 84 km (53 miles) and usually takes around 59 minutes. It runs north from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) across Hainaut and into the Flemish part of the country. Lede is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request just like any other route, with a driver assigned to your trip.

The time given is a typical figure. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring can make the journey longer, and so can roadworks or bad weather. If you have a train, ferry or appointment at the other end, plan a comfortable buffer instead of counting on the minimum.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. We have taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage.

Bigger parties travel by private minibus. The range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps of eight (16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56) up to 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, sports teams, company groups and school trips. If you are not sure which size fits, add a note about luggage when you book, since suitcases and equipment take up space too.

About Lede

Lede is a municipality in East Flanders, in the Aalst area, with a mostly quiet, residential character. It is not a major tourist hub, so most visitors come to see family, to attend events or for business in the surrounding region. A private transfer makes sense here because it takes you directly from the airport to your exact address, without changing vehicles. Please give the full street address when you book so the driver can plan the final stretch properly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.
