Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Montignies-Lez-Lens

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over and meet him.

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Montignies-Lez-Lens

The route covers 48 km (30 miles) and typically takes about 41 minutes by road. That makes it a manageable trip after a flight, without a long ride at the end of your journey. The time is a typical figure, so it is sensible to allow some extra margin if you have a tight onward plan, a medical appointment or a ceremony on the day of arrival. Heavy traffic at rush hour, roadworks or poor weather can add to the journey. For departures towards the airport, plan to leave early enough to reach the terminal comfortably ahead of check-in and security.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Pick the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): gives more room for suitcases, sports equipment or extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for wedding parties, school trips, clubs and company events.

If you are unsure which option fits, choose the next size up when you carry bulky luggage such as prams, bicycles or musical instruments.

About Montignies-Lez-Lens

Montignies-Lez-Lens is a small village in the municipality of Lens, in the Walloon province of Hainaut. It is a quiet, rural setting rather than a busy tourist centre, so a door-to-door private transfer is often the simplest way to arrive. Please give your driver the exact street address when you book, since village roads can be narrow and some house numbers are hard to spot.
