Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Wondelgem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at 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 head straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Wondelgem

The route covers 118 km (74 miles) and typically takes 1 h 18 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading north through Wallonia and then into East Flanders. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent are busiest. Because this route is booked less often, it is arranged on request, and your driver plans the trip specifically for you.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups with more luggage or more people can choose a private minibus, starting with 8 seats and continuing in steps of 8 seats up to 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, company teams, school trips and tour groups heading to Ghent and its surroundings. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle.

About Wondelgem

Wondelgem is a district in the north-west of Ghent, in the Belgian province of East Flanders. It was once an independent municipality and became part of Ghent in 1977. It is mainly residential, with a quieter feel than the historic centre, while the city centre lies only a short drive away.

Places to Stay Near Wondelgem
