Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Wolvertem

The drive from Charleroi to Wolvertem

The route covers 72 km (45 miles) and usually takes around 50 minutes by road. It leads north from Charleroi towards the Brussels region and on to Wolvertem, which lies on the north-western side of the capital. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is wise to add a buffer if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting departure. This route is booked less often than others from CRL, but it is available on request just like any other.

Meeting Point

After you have collected your luggage, head to Starbucks, which is easy to find inside the airport. Your driver will be waiting there with a personalised name sign. Just look for your name and you can be on your way.

Choosing the right vehicle

Small parties can choose a private taxi: one version seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4, which suits couples, families or colleagues with a few suitcases. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit wedding guests, school trips, sports teams and company events heading to the Wolvertem area. Pick the size according to both your headcount and the amount of luggage, and leave a little spare room for bulky bags.

About Wolvertem

Wolvertem is a village in the municipality of Meise, in the province of Flemish Brabant. It is a quiet, largely residential place on the edge of the Brussels commuter belt, with green surroundings and quick road access to the capital. Visitors tend to come for business in the surrounding area, to see family, or for events in the nearby countryside. Having a driver take you straight to the door is a simple way to arrive, as local connections can be limited if you are carrying luggage.
