Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Oudsbergen

The drive from Charleroi to Oudsbergen

The route covers 143 km (89 miles) and typically takes 1 h 39 m. You travel from the Walloon side of the country to the province of Limburg in the north-east of Flanders, so most of the journey is spent on motorways. Oudsbergen is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven can slow down. For an early flight or a fixed appointment, build in a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice: one option seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. If you have a group, a bigger party or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your passenger count and the amount of baggage, so everyone has room for the 1 h 39 m ride. If you are unsure which category fits, choose the next size up for extra comfort.

Oudsbergen as a destination

Oudsbergen is a municipality in Belgian Limburg, formed from the former municipalities of Meeuwen-Gruitrode and Opglabbeek. It lies in the Kempen region, known for pine forests, heathland and quiet cycling and walking routes. The area sits next to the Hoge Kempen National Park, which makes it a popular base for outdoor trips. It is a calm, mostly rural destination made up of several villages rather than one large town centre, so it helps to have the exact street address of your destination ready when you book.

Meeting Point

After you collect your luggage, head to Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.
