Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Retie

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 walk straight there and meet your driver without searching around the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Retie

Retie lies 152 km (95 miles) from the airport, and the journey normally takes around 1 h 44 m. Most of the route is on motorway, heading north through Belgium and into the Antwerp province. Because the road passes the busy areas around Brussels and Antwerp, it is worth allowing extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic builds up and the trip can run longer than the usual estimate.

This is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request just like any other. A private transfer is a practical choice here, since Retie is a small municipality in a rural area and a door-to-door ride avoids the multiple connections that a trip by public transport would involve.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle range covers everything from a couple travelling alone to a large organised party:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to individuals, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus with 8 Seats for groups or families travelling with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus with 16 to 64 Seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for teams, tour groups, school trips and company events heading to the Retie area.

When booking, choose the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you bring. If your group size is somewhere between two categories, the larger option gives everyone more room after a flight.
