Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Oudenaarde

The drive from Charleroi to Oudenaarde

The route covers 116 km (73 miles) and typically takes 1 h 25 m. It leads from the Charleroi area north-west across Hainaut and into East Flanders. Oudenaarde is not a high-volume destination for us, so this transfer is arranged on request, with the same service as any other route.

Allow some extra time if your journey falls in the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent fill up. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes. If you have a connection, a meeting or a check-in time in Oudenaarde, plan a comfortable buffer rather than a tight arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

Private taxis are available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits individual travellers, couples, families and small business parties with normal luggage. If you travel with more people or bulky baggage such as bicycles or sports gear, choose a private minibus. We offer minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your party, from a small family to a full coach-sized group.

Oudenaarde as a destination

Oudenaarde lies on the river Scheldt in the Flemish Ardennes region of East Flanders. The town is known for its ornate Gothic town hall on the market square, its tapestry-weaving heritage and its close ties with cycling, as the Tour of Flanders finishes here and a museum is dedicated to the race. Visitors often come for the historic centre, the riverside and the surrounding hills, which are popular with cyclists and walkers.

Meeting Point

Your driver meets you at the Starbucks in the arrival area of Brussels South Charleroi Airport. It is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. The driver waits there with a personalised name sign.
