Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Purnode

Meeting Point

After collecting your luggage, head to the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which is easy to find inside the terminal. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign.

The Drive from Charleroi to Purnode

The route covers 64 km (40 miles) and typically takes around 43 minutes. Purnode is a small place, so the last stretch runs on local roads, and the drive is quiet compared with the busier motorways around Brussels. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in heavy rain or winter weather, when traffic around Namur and on the main roads can slow down.

Because this route is booked less often than the big airport corridors, it is arranged on request. Your driver is assigned to your trip specifically and is not sharing the ride with other passengers.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Pick the vehicle by the number of passengers and the luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi: for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to couples, families and business travellers.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for up to 8 passengers with extra luggage space.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of 8 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour parties, wedding guests, clubs and corporate events.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the next one up when you carry bulky items such as sports gear, prams or several large suitcases.

About Purnode

Purnode is a village in the Walloon province of Namur, in the Meuse valley area. It is a calm, rural setting with green surroundings rather than a tourist centre. Give your driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off at your door goes smoothly, especially if the house is on a small lane.
