Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Maarke

The drive from Charleroi to Maarke

Maarke lies 89 km (55 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive normally takes around 1 h 15 m. The route is not one of our most frequently booked, but we arrange it on request just like any other transfer. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent slow down, and on days with heavy rain or fog, which are common in this part of Flanders. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed check-in time, it is sensible to plan a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or as a group, we have private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle so everyone travels comfortably.

Maarke as a destination

Maarke, usually written Maarke-Kerkem, is a village in the municipality of Maarkedal in East Flanders. It sits in the hilly countryside of the Flemish Ardennes, an area known for quiet lanes, cycling routes and its connection to the Tour of Flanders. The town of Oudenaarde is close by. Because the surroundings are rural, a door-to-door transfer is often far more practical than piecing together a journey from the airport with local connections. Give your driver the exact address at booking so the final approach on small village roads is straightforward.
