Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Mettet

The Drive from CRL to Mettet

Mettet lies 33 km (21 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the drive normally takes about 26 minutes. The route runs south through the Walloon countryside on regional roads, so it is calmer than most airport journeys. Allow some extra time during the weekday morning and evening rush hours, or in poor winter weather. This is an occasionally booked route, so a pre-arranged ride is the simplest way to cover the distance.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples and small families fit in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, which suit family gatherings, sports teams, wedding guests and company outings. Large groups are no problem, so pick the size that gives everyone comfortable room for their bags.

About Mettet

Mettet is a small municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia. It is best known for its motorsport circuit, which draws racing and motocross fans, and the surrounding area is rural and green. Check your exact address before travelling, because many visitors stay in outlying villages or private properties.

Drop-Off and Return Trips

Give the driver the full street address in Mettet when you book, so the car can take you to the door. For the trip back to the airport, plan to leave early enough to reach CRL comfortably before check-in closes, and add a little margin on busy mornings.
