Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Oudenburg

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver.

The Drive from Charleroi to Oudenburg

The journey covers 158 km (99 miles) and typically takes 1 h 39 m. The route leads from Wallonia across to the Flemish coastal region in the northwest of Belgium. It is a long ride by airport-transfer standards, so a private car is a comfortable way to cover it after a flight, without luggage or connections to manage.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels and Ghent, or on busy summer weekends when traffic towards the coast builds up. If you have a connection or an appointment in Oudenburg, a small buffer on top of the usual driving time is sensible.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Travelling alone, as a couple or as a small family, a Private Taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, depending on how much luggage you carry.

For bigger parties we offer private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Whether you are a group of friends, a wedding party, a sports team or a company outing, you can pick the size that matches your headcount and baggage. This route is booked less often than the busiest ones, but it is available on request like any other, so simply tell us your passenger numbers when you book.

About Oudenburg

Oudenburg is a small town in West Flanders, inland from the Belgian coast and within easy reach of both Ostend and Bruges. It is known for its Roman past, as the site of an old Roman coastal fort, and for its long-standing abbey tradition. The town is quiet and low-key, which suits visitors who prefer a calmer base to the busy coastal resorts.

Where to Stay Nearby

Oudenburg itself has only a few places to stay, so many visitors choose nearby Bruges, a short drive away. Well-established hotels there include Hotel de Orangerie, Hotel Die Swaene and Dukes' Palace. Give your driver the full address of your accommodation when booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
