Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Schaffen

The drive from Charleroi to Schaffen

Schaffen lies 117 km (73 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 24 m. The route crosses the centre of Belgium from the Walloon south to the Flemish Brabant region in the north-east. Because it passes through the Brussels area, traffic on weekday mornings and late afternoons can add noticeable time. If you have a fixed appointment, an event start or a connection to catch, build in a generous buffer. Schaffen is not a frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the right vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simple choice, and there is also a taxi option for up to four passengers when you travel with a bit more luggage. Groups of up to eight people can book an 8-seat private minibus. For bigger parties such as school trips, teams, wedding guests or company outings, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount and luggage, so everyone has room to travel comfortably over the 1 h 24 m journey.

About Schaffen

Schaffen is a small village that belongs to the town of Diest in Flemish Brabant. The surroundings are rural, with fields, woodland and quiet roads, which makes it a calm place to arrive after a flight. Since it is a small place, it is worth confirming the exact address with your host or venue before travelling, so the driver can take you straight to the door. Diest itself, a short distance away, is the nearest town with shops, cafés and services.

Practical tip for your arrival

Give the exact street name and house number when booking, as village addresses in rural areas can be hard to find on a map. Keep a phone number reachable on arrival day so your driver can contact you if your landing time changes.
