Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Rahier

The Drive from Charleroi to Rahier

Rahier lies 136 km (85 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the journey typically takes 1 h 29 m. The last part of the route leads into the hilly Ardennes, where roads become more winding than on the motorway stretches. Allow extra time in winter, when fog, frost or snow can slow traffic in the hills, and on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic is heavier around the larger towns. If you have a connection or an appointment after arrival, build in a little buffer rather than planning to the minute.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign a vehicle that gives everyone enough space for a drive of around an hour and a half.

About Rahier

Rahier is a small village in the municipality of Stoumont, in the province of Liège. It sits in the green, wooded landscape of the Ardennes, close to the Amblève valley, and is known mainly as a quiet base for walking, cycling and countryside stays. Services in the village itself are limited, so it helps to have your exact address ready for the driver, especially if your accommodation is on a small country road.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over without searching the terminal.
