Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Lommel

The drive from Charleroi to Lommel

The route covers 179 km (112 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 58 m. You travel from the Walloon south of Belgium to the northeast of the country, in the province of Limburg. Most of the journey is on motorway, so the time is fairly predictable. Morning and evening rush hours on the roads around Brussels and Antwerp, as well as bad weather, can add time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting booking in Lommel, plan a buffer on top of the standard duration.

Which vehicle fits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice: one option seats 1-3 passengers, the other 1-4 passengers. Pick the 4-passenger car if you carry more luggage or want extra room. Groups of up to 8 travel in a private minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so teams, school groups, tour parties and wedding guests can arrive together. Because this route is booked less often, it is arranged on request, so it is worth reserving ahead rather than at the last minute.

Lommel as a destination

Lommel is a municipality in the Kempen region of Limburg, close to the Dutch border. It is known for its sandy landscape, pine forests and the Lommel Sahara, a stretch of white sand dunes, and it is a quiet base for cycling and walking. After a two-hour ride, you arrive in a calm, green part of Belgium far from the airport crowds.
