Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Maarkedal

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Maarkedal

The route covers 100 km (63 miles) and typically takes 1 h 15 m. You travel from the Walloon side of the country into East Flanders, so the road changes from the Charleroi area to a greener, more rural landscape as you approach your destination. Maarkedal is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will plan the journey for you.

Allow extra time if your transfer falls in the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when the busy roads around Brussels and Ghent can slow traffic. Bad weather can also add minutes, especially on the smaller roads close to the villages.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually fit best in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage or want more space, the 8-seat minibus is a comfortable step up. For wedding parties, school trips, clubs and company outings, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Tell us your group size and luggage when booking, and we will assign the right vehicle.

About Maarkedal

Maarkedal is a municipality in the province of East Flanders, set in the hilly Flemish Ardennes (Vlaamse Ardennen) close to Oudenaarde. It is made up of several small villages, including Etikhove, Maarke-Kerkem and Nukerke. The area is known for its rolling countryside, quiet lanes and cycling routes, and the region is closely tied to the Tour of Flanders. It is a peaceful place rather than a busy tourist centre, so it suits visitors looking for countryside and calm.

Because many addresses are in small villages or on narrow lanes, it helps to give the exact street name and house number when you book, so the driver can take you right to the door.

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to the Starbucks, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.
