Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Pellenberg

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 after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Pellenberg

The route covers 68 km (42 miles) and typically takes about 1 h 6 m. Most of it is on motorways heading north towards the Leuven area, and the last stretch runs on local roads into the village. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest periods around Brussels and Leuven, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. Because this route is booked less often than some others, it is arranged on request, and a booking made ahead of time lets us plan your pickup properly.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business trips with standard luggage. If you travel with more people or a lot of baggage, the Private Minibus range starts at 8 seats and goes up to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Choose the category that matches your party size and mention any oversized items such as sports equipment or large cases when you book.

About Pellenberg

Pellenberg is a small village in the municipality of Lubbeek in Flemish Brabant, just south of Leuven. It has a quiet, green, residential character, and it is known mainly for the UZ Leuven hospital campus located there. Visitors often use it as a base for stays connected to Leuven and the surrounding countryside.

Places to Stay Near Pellenberg

Pellenberg itself has very limited accommodation, so most visitors stay in nearby Leuven, a short drive away. Well-established options there include:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted historic building
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, close to the city centre
• Pentahotel Leuven, a modern hotel near the railway station

Give your driver the exact hotel or street address when booking, so the drop-off goes smoothly.
