Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ronquieres

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Ronquieres

Ronquieres lies 32 km (20 miles) from Charleroi Airport, and the typical driving time is 27 minutes. The route is short and mostly straightforward, so you are usually at your destination well within the hour after leaving the terminal. Allow some extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, in heavy rain or winter weather, or when roadworks slow the main roads. If you have an onward appointment, a small buffer is sensible.

Meeting Point at the Airport

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

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they bring. A private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits couples, families and business travellers. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Wedding guests, school trips, sports teams and corporate groups can all be covered, whatever the group size. When you book, enter the exact number of passengers and any bulky luggage so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Ronquieres

Ronquieres is a small village in the province of Hainaut, part of the municipality of Braine-le-Comte. It is best known for the Ronquieres Inclined Plane, a large boat lift on the Brussels-Charleroi Canal that raises and lowers ships between two canal levels. The structure draws visitors interested in engineering and waterways, and the surrounding countryside is quiet and green. Because the village is small, give your driver the full address of your destination, so the drop-off is quick and precise.
