Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Vertrijk

The drive from Charleroi to Vertrijk

The route covers 81 km (51 miles) and typically takes 1 h 3 m. It leads north-east from the airport towards Flemish Brabant, so most of the trip is on motorway before a short final stretch on local roads. Allow extra time during the morning and late-afternoon rush, when traffic around the Brussels ring and Leuven slows down.

Vertrijk is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request just like any other route. A private taxi suits small parties: choose the 1-3 passenger car or the 1-4 passenger car depending on luggage. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so wedding guests, sports teams and company groups can all be covered without difficulty.

About Vertrijk

Vertrijk is a small village in the Flemish municipality of Boutersem, in the province of Flemish Brabant. The surroundings are rural, with fields and quiet roads, and the university city of Leuven lies not far away. 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 Vertrijk

Vertrijk itself has little in the way of well-known hotels, so visitors usually base themselves in nearby Leuven, the closest larger town. Two established options there:

• Martin's Klooster, a hotel in a converted historic building in the centre of Leuven.
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a modern hotel close to the city centre and the railway station.

If you are staying in Leuven, tell us the hotel name when booking and we will adjust the drop-off accordingly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside the airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. If you cannot see your driver straight away, stay near the counter and he will come to you.
