Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Tremelo

Meeting Point

Once you have collected your luggage, walk to the Starbucks at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which is easy to find from the baggage area. Your driver waits there with a personalised name sign, so you only need to look for your name.

The Drive from Charleroi to Tremelo

The route covers 97 km (61 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 14 m. It leads from the Hainaut region north across the Brussels area into Flemish Brabant. Traffic around Brussels is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight schedule at the other end. Tremelo is booked less often than the major city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination, so it is best to reserve in advance.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This makes the transfer suitable for wedding parties, company groups, school trips and family gatherings alike. Choose a size that leaves room for suitcases as well as passengers.

About Tremelo

Tremelo is a small municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, made up of villages such as Tremelo and Baal. The landscape is green and quiet, with farmland, woods and the Dijle valley nearby. It is best known as the birthplace of Father Damien, the missionary who worked with leprosy patients in Hawaii.

Where to Stay Near Tremelo

Tremelo itself has only a limited choice of accommodation, so many visitors stay in Leuven, the nearest larger town in the region. Well-established options there include Martin's Klooster, a hotel set in a former monastery complex, the Leuven Marriott Hotel and the Park Inn by Radisson Leuven. Give your driver the exact address of your hotel or private accommodation when you book, so the pickup or drop-off runs smoothly.
