Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Vorst

The transfer covers 54 km (34 miles) and typically takes around 40 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorway, and the last stretch leads into the southern part of the Brussels-Capital Region. Traffic around Brussels can build up on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch or an event to reach on time.

This is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request just like any other. Your driver knows the way into Vorst and will take the most sensible route for the time of day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is offered for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so check the number of suitcases and child seats you are bringing and pick accordingly.

For bigger parties, such as business delegations, wedding guests or school and sports groups, private minibuses are available. They start at 8 seats and go up in steps of eight to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Choose the size that gives everyone a seat and leaves room for luggage.

A Few Words on Vorst

Vorst, known in French as Forest, is one of the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region and lies south of the city centre. It is a mostly residential area with a good number of cafés and local shops. Well-known places include the Forest National concert hall, the green space of Parc de Forest and the Wiels contemporary art centre, which is housed in a former brewery. Giving your driver the exact street address when you book helps ensure a smooth drop-off or pickup at the door.
