Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Rupelmonde

The Drive from Charleroi to Rupelmonde

The transfer covers 101 km (63 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so your driver is arranged specifically for your journey. The road passes through the busy Brussels region, so morning and evening rush hours, roadworks or bad weather can add time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting journey in Rupelmonde, it is sensible to plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options: a Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers and a Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you are travelling with four people or carrying plenty of luggage. Groups, families with extra bags and organised parties can book a private minibus, with capacities of 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size according to the number of travellers, and book the next category up if you are bringing bulky items such as sports equipment or large suitcases.

Rupelmonde as a Destination

Rupelmonde is a small village in East Flanders, part of the municipality of Kruibeke. It lies on the banks of the Scheldt, close to where the Rupel flows into the river. It is best known as the birthplace of Gerardus Mercator, the sixteenth-century cartographer whose name is linked to the famous world map projection. The setting is quiet and rural, with river views and flat Flemish countryside, so it suits visitors who want a calm stay away from the city. Please give your driver the exact street address when booking, as small villages can have several similar-looking approaches.

Meeting Point

After you have collected your luggage, head to the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign. Once you have met, you can go straight to the vehicle and start your journey to Rupelmonde.
