Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ruien

The drive from Charleroi to Ruien

The route covers 109 km (68 miles) and typically takes 1 h 17 m. Ruien is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination. Your driver follows the fastest road for the day and drops you at the exact address. Allow extra time if you travel at rush hour, as traffic around Brussels and on the main roads towards East Flanders can slow the journey. Bad weather can have the same effect.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simplest choice. A second taxi option takes up to four passengers, which gives a little more room for luggage. Families, friends travelling together and small teams can book a private minibus with 8 seats. Larger parties, such as wedding guests, school trips or company events, can choose minibuses with 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 match the vehicle to it.

About Ruien

Ruien is a village in the municipality of Kluisbergen in East Flanders. It lies in the Flemish Ardennes, a hilly and green region of Belgium that is popular for cycling and walking. The nearby Kluisberg hill is a well-known landmark of the area. The village is quiet and residential, so it helps to give the driver the full street address or a clear pin on the map. This avoids any confusion on the last stretch of the journey.
