Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Rijmenam

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 without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Rijmenam

The route covers 93 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 h 13 m. Most of it is motorway, heading north from Charleroi and then around the Brussels region towards the province of Antwerp. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels can slow things down, so add a buffer if you have a fixed appointment on arrival. The same applies if you are heading to the airport for an early departure: plan to leave a little earlier than the bare driving time suggests.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, families and small business parties, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version seats up to three passengers, another up to four. If you travel with more luggage or a larger party, the private minibus with 8 seats is the next step. For events, weddings, company trips and tour groups, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats, so even very large parties are covered without any difficulty. Tell us your passenger count and luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

About Rijmenam

Rijmenam is a village in the municipality of Bonheiden, in the Flemish province of Antwerp. It is a quiet, green and mostly residential area, located between Mechelen and the wider Antwerp-Leuven corridor. Visitors usually come here to see family, attend local events or reach business addresses in the surrounding region. Because it is a small place, giving your driver the exact street address or a pin location helps the final stretch go smoothly.

Places to Stay Nearby

Rijmenam itself is small, so for well-known hotels it is better to look at nearby Mechelen, which lies close by. Established options there include:

• Martin's Patershof, a hotel set in a former convent-style building in the historic centre
• Novotel Mechelen Centrum, a modern chain hotel in the town centre
• ibis Mechelen Centrum, a practical option close to the centre

If you are staying in one of these, simply give the hotel name when booking and your driver will take you to the door.
