Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Merchtem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign showing your name. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet without any searching around the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Merchtem

The route covers 72 km (45 miles) and usually takes about 57 minutes. Charleroi lies south of Brussels and Merchtem is northwest of the capital, so the journey passes around the Brussels region. That makes the ring road the part most likely to slow you down.

Allow extra time if your transfer falls in the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or if the weather is poor. Travelling at a quieter time of day, the journey generally follows the usual estimate. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so just tell us your flight arrival time and destination address when you book.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) for solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for a group or family with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for teams, tour parties, wedding guests, and company delegations.

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