Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Watervliet

The drive from Charleroi to Watervliet

Watervliet lies 150 km (94 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 42 m. The route crosses Belgium from south to north-west, so most of the journey is on motorway before it switches to smaller regional roads close to the destination. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the transfer is arranged privately for your group only.

Allow some extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down. Heavy rain or a busy holiday weekend can also add minutes. If you have a connection, an onward booking or a check-in time in Watervliet, build in a small buffer rather than planning to the minute.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a group of friends or a family with plenty of bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats: for tour groups, school trips, wedding parties, sports teams and company outings.

If you are unsure between two sizes, pick the larger one when you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or pushchairs.

About Watervliet

Watervliet is a small village in East Flanders, in the flat polder landscape of the Meetjesland region close to the Dutch border. It is a quiet, rural area rather than a major tourist hub, which makes a door-to-door transfer a practical way to get there. Give the driver the exact street address when you book so the final stretch on local roads goes smoothly.
