Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Schelderode

The drive from Charleroi to Schelderode

The transfer covers 104 km (65 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 12 m. Schelderode is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like every other route, and the driver plans the journey for you. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, since traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down. If your plans are tight, for example a business appointment or a family event, it is sensible to build in a small buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or a bigger party, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, with a 64-seat coach-size minibus at the top end. Wedding parties, company groups and sports teams heading to the Ghent area will find a suitable size in that range. Tell us the number of passengers and bags when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your group.

About Schelderode

Schelderode is a small village in East Flanders, in the countryside near Ghent. It is a quiet, mostly residential place, so most visitors come to see family, attend a local event or use it as a calm base within reach of Ghent. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the door.

Where to stay near Schelderode

Schelderode itself has very little in the way of hotels, so most visitors stay in nearby Ghent, the closest major town. Well-established choices there include:

• Hotel Gravensteen, a historic townhouse hotel in the city centre
• Marriott Ghent, a large hotel on the Korenlei by the river Leie
• Novotel Gent Centrum, a practical option close to the old town

Give your driver the hotel name at booking and the transfer can end right at the entrance.

Meeting Point

After you have collected your luggage, head to the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which is easy to find. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign.
