Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Zichem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over and meet your driver without any searching.

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Zichem

The route covers 108 km (68 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 15 m. You travel from the Charleroi area north-east into Flemish Brabant, so this is a real cross-country journey rather than a short hop. Zichem is not a frequently requested destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route we offer.

Allow some extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, when traffic on the busier motorway sections can slow things down. Bad weather can have the same effect. If you have a fixed appointment, an event or a connection in Zichem, it is sensible to plan a small buffer on top of the usual driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable choice for a group of up to eight, especially with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour groups, wedding parties, company outings and other large gatherings.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the larger option when you have a lot of luggage, so nobody has to travel with bags on their lap.

About Zichem

Zichem is a quiet village in Flemish Brabant and forms part of the municipality of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem. The surroundings are green and rural, with the Demer valley nearby and the town of Diest within easy reach. Scherpenheuvel, just next door, is known for its basilica and as a pilgrimage destination. Expect a calm setting rather than a busy tourist centre, which is why a private transfer straight to your address is often the most convenient way to arrive.
