Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Niel-Bij-As

The Drive from Charleroi to Niel-Bij-As

The route covers 133 km (83 miles) and typically takes 1 h 35 m. Charleroi Airport lies south of Brussels, and Niel-Bij-As is in the province of Limburg, so the journey crosses much of central Belgium. Because most of it runs on motorways around the Brussels region, traffic has a real effect on the schedule. Weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours can add noticeable time, so build in a buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Your driver knows the way and will adjust to current road conditions.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. When you travel with several suitcases, count the bags as well as the people.

Groups of five or more can book a private minibus, starting with the 8-seat model. Larger options go up in steps of eight seats, from 16 and 24 through 32, 40 and 48, up to 56 and 64 seats. Whether you are a business team, a sports club or a wedding party, there is a vehicle sized for your group.

About Niel-Bij-As

Niel-Bij-As is a small village in the municipality of As, in Belgian Limburg. The surroundings are quiet and green, typical of the Flemish countryside in this part of the country, and the pace is very different from Brussels or the airport area. Because it is a small place, give your driver the exact street address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly. Having a phone number available for the day of travel also helps if the driver needs to find a specific house or entrance.
