Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Uikhoven

The drive from Charleroi to Uikhoven

The route covers 125 km (78 miles) and typically takes 1 h 29 m. It leads from the Walloon south of the country across to the Limburg province in the northeast, so you spend most of the journey on motorways. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the trip is arranged as a private door-to-door ride.

Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush hours, or in bad weather. Around Brussels and Liège, traffic can slow down the stretch noticeably. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed check-in time in Uikhoven, plan a comfortable buffer instead of relying on the typical driving time alone.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one option seats 1-3 passengers, the other 1-4 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage, pick the next size up so nobody has to sit with bags on their lap.

For families with several suitcases, work groups or organised parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Choose the size by counting both passengers and bags, and the transfer will run smoothly from the arrivals hall to your address.
