Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Oud-Heverlee

The Drive from Charleroi to Oud-Heverlee

The route covers 57 km (36 miles) and typically takes around 52 minutes. It leads north from Charleroi Airport towards Flemish Brabant, finishing in the green countryside south of Leuven. Oud-Heverlee is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but we arrange it on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when roads around Brussels and Leuven can slow down. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed check-in, build in a small buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers and couples, a private taxi for 1-3 passengers is the straightforward choice. A taxi for 1-4 passengers gives a family of four a little more room for bags. If you have a larger party, a minibus with 8 seats is available. For wedding guests, sports teams, school trips or company outings, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when booking, and we will match the vehicle to it.

About Oud-Heverlee and Where to Stay

Oud-Heverlee is a quiet municipality in Flemish Brabant, just south of Leuven. It is known for its proximity to the Heverleebos and Meerdaalwoud woodlands, which attract walkers and cyclists. Visitors often come for the outdoors, for family visits, or for business connected to the nearby university city.

We cannot confidently name long-established hotels within Oud-Heverlee itself, so here are well-known options in Leuven, the nearest larger town:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a restored historic building
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, close to the city centre
• Ibis Leuven Centrum, a practical option near the station

If your accommodation is in Leuven or the surrounding villages, give us the exact address when booking so the driver can plan the final stretch precisely.
