Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Westkerke

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, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Westkerke

The route covers 160 km (100 miles) and typically takes 1 h 41 m. You travel from Hainaut across Belgium to the flat polder landscape of West Flanders, mostly by motorway. Allow extra time if you arrive during the morning or evening rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent can slow down, and on busy summer weekends, when traffic heads for the coast. Westkerke is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other, and the driver follows the route that suits the traffic on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, up to 64 passengers. If you travel with a lot of luggage, pick the next size up for extra space. Tell us your group size when booking and we will match the vehicle.

About Westkerke

Westkerke is a small village in West Flanders, part of the municipality of Oudenburg. It lies in quiet, open countryside not far from the Belgian coast, so expect a calm rural setting rather than a busy town centre. Many visitors come for the surrounding area, including the coast and the historic city of Bruges.

Where to Stay Nearby

Westkerke is very small, so for well-known hotels it is better to look at nearby Ostend on the coast. The Thermae Palace is a landmark hotel on the seafront, and the Hotel Andromeda is another established address on the Ostend promenade. If you prefer a historic city setting, Bruges is also within easy reach and has many long-established hotels. Tell your driver the exact address and the transfer can end at your door.
