Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Olen

The drive from Charleroi to Olen

The transfer covers 139 km (87 miles) and typically takes 1 h 40 m. Olen lies in the province of Antwerp, so the route crosses most of Belgium from south to north. Part of the journey usually runs around the Brussels ring, where traffic can build up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure, add a buffer to the standard driving time.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Your driver takes you directly to the address you give, with no changes along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit. There are two options: one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4 passengers. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, choose the larger of the two so everything fits comfortably.

For bigger parties, such as business delegations, sports teams, wedding guests or tour groups, private minibuses are available in sizes from 8 up to 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount, and tell us about any extra luggage when you book.

• 1-3 or 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: private minibus with 8 seats
• 9 passengers and more: minibuses from 16 to 64 seats
