Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Merendree

The drive from Charleroi to Merendree

The route covers 118 km (74 miles) and typically takes 1 h 21 m. It leads from Wallonia across to East Flanders, mostly on motorways. Merendree is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent slow down. Heavy rain or roadworks can also add a few minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups with more luggage or more people can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, company teams, sports clubs and tour groups heading to the Ghent area. Please book the size that matches your passenger count and luggage, so everyone travels comfortably.

About Merendree

Where to stay near Merendree

Merendree itself is very small, and we cannot name established hotels there with confidence. The nearest major town with well-known accommodation is Ghent, roughly 20 km away. Long-established options there include:

• NH Gent Belfort, in the historic centre
• Hotel Gravensteen, a hotel in a former mansion close to the castle
• Novotel Gent Centrum, near the Ghent city centre

If you are staying at one of these, simply give us the hotel name when booking and the driver will take you there.
