Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Messelbroek

The Drive from Charleroi to Messelbroek

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 15 m. Charleroi lies south of Brussels and Messelbroek lies to the north-east, so the trip crosses much of central Belgium. Allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic around the Brussels area builds up. Your driver follows the current road situation, so the arrival time stays as realistic as possible.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without any searching.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties can pick a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. These suit couples, families and business travellers with standard luggage. For bigger groups there is a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats, for up to 8 passengers
• 16 and 24 seats, for school groups, clubs and extended families
• 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats, for tours, events and company outings

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport runs, but it is available on request just like any other, with the same service.

About Messelbroek

Messelbroek is a small village in the municipality of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem in Flemish Brabant. It has a quiet, rural character with green surroundings and little through traffic. Because it is a small place, a transfer straight to your door is often far simpler than piecing together a journey from the airport on your own. Please have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the right spot without detours.
