Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Mater

The drive from Charleroi to Mater

The transfer covers 103 km (65 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 20 m. The route leads from the Charleroi area north-west across Belgium towards East Flanders, mostly on motorway, with the last stretch on local roads. Mater is not a route we are asked for every day, but it is available on request like any other. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the middle part of the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a train or a ceremony to reach.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options: a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you are travelling with more people or with a lot of luggage, the Private Minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps of eight: 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and up to 64 seats. Groups such as wedding parties, sports teams, school trips or company outings can therefore be arranged without difficulty. When booking, pick the category that matches your passenger count and mention any bulky items, such as prams, golf bags or musical instruments.

Meeting Point

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

About Mater

Mater is a small village that forms part of the municipality of Oudenaarde in East Flanders. It is a quiet, rural place, and the surrounding countryside is typical of the Flemish Ardennes region, with gentle hills and farmland. Because it is a village rather than a town, it helps to give your driver the exact street address when you book, so the last part of the trip goes smoothly. A door-to-door transfer is a practical choice here, since the final distance from any station or bus stop to your address can be awkward with luggage.
