Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Marbais

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Marbais

Marbais lies 17 km (11 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the trip usually takes about 19 minutes. That makes it a short transfer: you can be at your door soon after landing, without planning around timetables or connections. This is a less frequently booked route, but we arrange it on request just like any other. Allow a little extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, or in bad weather, when traffic around the Charleroi area can slow things down. If you are heading to the airport from Marbais for an early flight, it is sensible to leave with a comfortable margin.

Meeting point at the airport

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

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for groups of up to eight with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, sports teams and other organised groups.

If you are unsure which size to pick, choose the next one up when you have bulky luggage such as sports equipment, prams or musical instruments.

About Marbais

Marbais is a village in the Walloon Brabant province of Wallonia, part of the municipality of Villers-la-Ville. The surroundings are rural, with farmland and quiet country roads, so this is a calm place to arrive after a flight. Nearby Villers-la-Ville is known for the ruins of Villers Abbey, a popular excursion in the area. Because Marbais is small, it is best to give your driver the exact street address in advance so the pickup or drop-off goes smoothly.
