Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Scheldewindeke

The drive from Charleroi to Scheldewindeke

The route covers 99 km (62 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 7 m. Most of the way is on motorway, heading north from Charleroi and then towards East Flanders. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch. This is a route we drive on request rather than every day, and the transfer is arranged door to door, so you are not tied to any timetable.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or in a bigger party, the 8-seat minibus gives you plenty of room. For wedding guests, school trips, sports teams or company groups, we also offer minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Tell us the number of passengers and bags when you book, and we will match the vehicle to your trip.

Scheldewindeke and where to stay nearby

Scheldewindeke is a quiet village in the municipality of Oosterzele, in the Flemish province of East Flanders, south-east of Ghent. The surroundings are rural, with fields, small lanes and local cafés rather than large attractions. Visitors mostly come to see family, attend events or use it as a calm base within reach of Ghent.

I cannot confidently name hotels in the village itself, so here are well-known options in nearby Ghent, the closest major city:

• NH Gent Belfort, in the historic centre close to the Belfry
• Hotel Harmony, on the Dijver canal near the old town
• Marriott Ghent, on the Korenlei overlooking the Leie river

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Charleroi Airport, holding a sign with your name on it. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Just walk over and look for the sign.
