Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Zuidschote

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 go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Zuidschote

The route covers 156 km (97 miles) and typically takes 1 h 40 m. It runs from Hainaut across to the far west of Flanders, close to the French border. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow some extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, when traffic around Brussels and on the western motorways can slow things down. A private transfer takes you from the airport to the door of your address, with no changes on the way.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Pick the vehicle by group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for 1-8 passengers, useful when you carry extra bags, pushchairs or equipment.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for tour parties, school trips, sports clubs and other organised groups, from 1 up to the stated number of passengers.

If you are unsure which size suits you, choose the next category up so everyone has room for their luggage.

Zuidschote and Where to Stay

Zuidschote is a small, quiet village in West Flanders and part of the municipality of Ieper (Ypres). The surrounding countryside is flat farmland, and the area is closely tied to the history of the First World War. Many visitors come to see the battlefields, cemeteries and memorials of the Westhoek region.

The village itself has very limited accommodation, so most travellers stay in nearby Ieper. Established options there include:

• Hotel Ariane, a comfortable hotel a short distance from the town centre.
• Hotel Albion, a long-standing hotel close to the Grote Markt.
• Hotel Regina, a traditional hotel in the centre of Ieper.

Check your booking details before you travel. Give your driver the exact street address of your accommodation, so the drop-off is quick and simple in these small rural roads.
