The route covers 50 km (32 miles) and usually takes about 36 minutes by road. Saintes is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other.

Meeting Point

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

Saintes as a destination

Saintes is a small village in the municipality of Tubize, in Walloon Brabant. It has a quiet, rural character and is best known for its church and the local tradition around Saint Renelde. Visitors usually come for family visits, local events or business in the surrounding area rather than for large-scale tourism. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you directly to the door.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available in two versions, one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4. If you travel with more people or with a lot of luggage, the private minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats up to 64 seats. This makes the transfer easy to arrange for wedding parties, school trips, sports teams and company groups as well as for individual guests.

• 1-3 or 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: private minibus with 8 seats
• 9 or more passengers: private minibus from 16 up to 64 seats

When you book, state the number of passengers and the amount of luggage so the right vehicle is assigned for your journey.
