Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Westerlo

The drive from Charleroi to Westerlo

The route covers 114 km (71 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 28 m. Most of the journey runs north through Wallonia and into Flanders, finishing in the Kempen region of Antwerp province. Traffic around Brussels and on the ring roads can slow things down, so allow extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and when you have a tight connection or appointment at the other end. Because the trip is a point-to-point private ride, you avoid any transfers with luggage.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your party and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats) for tour groups, company events, sports teams and school trips.

This route is booked less often than the main Brussels runs, but it is available on request in the same way as any other transfer. Book ahead so that the right vehicle is ready for your arrival.

Westerlo as a destination

Westerlo is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, set in the green Kempen landscape of northern Belgium. It is a quiet, mostly residential and rural area, known for the Merode castle and its surrounding park and for the local football club, KVC Westerlo. Visitors usually come for the countryside, for family visits or for business in the wider region. As the area is spread out, a private transfer is often the simplest way to reach your exact address, rather than relying on local buses from a larger station.
