Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Zelzate

The drive from Charleroi to Zelzate

Zelzate lies 128 km (80 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the trip usually takes about 1 h 25 m. The route crosses Belgium from south to north-west, so the road is long but straightforward. Zelzate is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but we arrange it on request just like any other route. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels and Ghent, and when the weather is poor. If you have a flight to catch, plan a generous buffer.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, choose a private minibus. We offer:

• Minibus with 8 seats (1-8 passengers)
• Minibus with 16 seats (1-16 passengers)
• Minibuses with 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats for tour groups, teams and company trips

Pick the size that matches your passenger count and luggage, and we will confirm the rest with you.

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.

Zelzate and where to stay nearby

Zelzate is a small town in East Flanders, right on the Dutch border and beside the Ghent-Terneuzen canal. It is mainly an industrial and residential place, so visitors often come for business or to see family, and many use nearby Ghent as a base for sightseeing.

We cannot confidently name long-established hotels in Zelzate itself, so here are well-known ones in Ghent, the nearest larger town:

• Hotel Gravensteen, a historic hotel in the city centre
• Novotel Gent Centrum, a reliable international chain option in the centre
• NH Gent Belfort, close to the Belfry and the old town

If you are staying in one of these, tell us the hotel name when you book, and the driver will take you to the door.
