Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Pellaines

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Pellaines

The route covers 71 km (44 miles) and usually takes around 55 minutes by road. Most of the journey is on motorways and main regional roads, so the trip is straightforward. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or in poor weather, when traffic around the Brussels and Walloon Brabant road network can slow things down. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed arrival time at your address, it is sensible to build in a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties can travel in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. This works well for individual travellers, couples, families, and business guests with standard luggage. For bigger parties the minibus options start at 8 seats and continue in steps of eight up to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This makes it easy to match the vehicle to a wedding party, a company delegation, a sports team or a school trip. When you book, state the number of passengers and the amount of luggage so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Pellaines

Pellaines is a small village in the rural part of Walloon Brabant, surrounded by farmland and quiet country roads. It is a peaceful place rather than a tourist hub, so most visitors come to see family, attend an event, or stay with friends in the area. Because public addresses in small villages can sometimes be hard to locate by satnav, it helps to give your driver the exact street name and house number in advance.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Starbucks in the arrivals area of 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 without searching the terminal.
