Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ooike

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Ooike

The route covers 129 km (81 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 25 m by road. Ooike lies in the Flemish part of Belgium, so the journey crosses from Wallonia into East Flanders, mostly on motorway. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver plans it as a direct, door-to-door ride.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour. Traffic around Brussels and on the ring roads can add delays, and the same applies on busy Friday afternoons. If you have a connecting commitment in Ooike, such as a meeting or a check-in deadline, build in a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The fleet is matched to the size of your party and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suitable for solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for groups of up to 8 who want extra space for suitcases.
• Private Minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour groups, wedding parties, teams and company events.

When you book, enter the number of passengers and the amount of luggage so the right vehicle is assigned to you.

About Ooike

Ooike is a small, quiet village in East Flanders, close to the Scheldt river and the town of Oudenaarde. The surrounding countryside is typical of the Flemish Ardennes region, with gentle hills, farmland and cycling routes. It is a calm place rather than a busy tourist centre, so it suits visitors who come for family visits, local events or a rural stay. Since the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver.
