Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Uccle

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over and meet your driver.

The Drive from Charleroi to Uccle

The transfer covers 54 km (34 miles) and typically takes 47 minutes. The route heads north from Charleroi towards the Brussels region and ends in the southern part of the capital. Uccle is an occasionally booked destination, but the journey is straightforward. Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hour, when traffic around Brussels slows down. Your driver tracks conditions on the day and chooses the best way in.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. If you are travelling with more people or with a lot of bags, the 8-seat private minibus gives you extra room. Bigger groups, such as wedding parties, school trips or company delegations, can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Just tell us your group size when you book.

Uccle at a Glance

Uccle is one of the nineteen municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, lying in the south of the city. It is known as a green, mostly residential area with large houses, quiet streets and the edge of the Forêt de Soignes nearby. Wolvendael Park and the Royal Observatory are among its best-known spots. Many visitors come here for family visits, embassy business or a calmer stay away from the busy city centre.

Where to Stay Near Uccle

Uccle itself has few large hotels, so many visitors stay in central Brussels, a short ride away. Two long-established choices there are Hotel Metropole, a historic grand hotel on Place de Brouckère, and Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand Place. Both are well known and easy to reach by taxi from Uccle. If you are staying with friends or relatives in Uccle, just give your driver the exact street address when you book.
