Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Poppel

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Poppel

The route covers 162 km (101 miles) and typically takes 2 hours. It leads from the Hainaut region in the south of Belgium up to the Campine area in the north, close to the Dutch border. Poppel is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Weekday rush hours and busy holiday periods can lengthen the journey, so it is sensible to add a little buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

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.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi: one version takes 1-3 passengers, another 1-4 passengers. For bigger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so families, teams, tour parties and event guests can all be matched to a suitable vehicle. When you book, give the number of travellers and the amount of luggage so that the right vehicle is assigned for the two-hour ride.

About Poppel

Poppel is a quiet village in the municipality of Ravels, in the province of Antwerp. It lies right on the border with the Netherlands, in the Campine region, which is known for pine woods, heathland and flat, open countryside. The surrounding area suits walking and cycling, and the Dutch towns across the border are only a short drive away. Because the village is small, a door-to-door transfer is often the simplest way to arrive, especially after a flight, with no changes along the way.
