Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Passendale

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive to Passendale

The route covers 146 km (91 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 35 m. Passendale is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent tend to slow down, or in bad weather. Because the ride is private, the driver heads straight to your address in Passendale without stops for other passengers.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to 8 travel in a private minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits school trips, tour groups, wedding guests and delegations heading for the Flanders Fields area. Tell us your group size and amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

Passendale as a Destination

Passendale, also spelled Passchendaele, is a village in West Flanders. It is best known for the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917 and sits in a landscape of quiet farmland, war memorials and cemeteries. Many visitors come here for battlefield tours and remembrance visits. Having a private driver is practical in the countryside, where public transport is limited and distances between sites are awkward without a car.

Where to Stay Nearby

Passendale itself is small, so most visitors base themselves in the nearby town of Ypres (Ieper). Well-known places to stay there include:

• Hotel Ariane
• Albion Hotel
• Regina Hotel

Give your driver the full address of your accommodation when you book, so the transfer ends right at the door.
