Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Maasmechelen

The Drive from CRL to Maasmechelen

The route covers 139 km (87 miles) and typically takes 1 h 28 m. It runs from the Walloon south of Brussels across to Limburg, in the east of Flanders. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven tend to slow down, or in bad weather. Since this route is only booked now and then, it helps to confirm your pickup details a little ahead of time.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

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

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The transfer is private, so you travel only with your own group. Options by group size:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and small families
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 with extra luggage
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats, available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64), for tour groups, teams and events

Pick the size by passenger count and luggage, not by passenger count alone. Skis, golf bags and large suitcases take up more space than you might expect.

About Maasmechelen

Maasmechelen lies in the province of Limburg, close to the Dutch border and the Meuse river. It is best known for the Maasmechelen Village shopping outlet, which draws visitors from across the region. The Hoge Kempen National Park is nearby, with forest and heath trails for walking and cycling. A door-to-door transfer is convenient here, because the town is not on a simple direct route from the airport.
