Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Zwevegem

The drive from Charleroi to Zwevegem

The transfer covers 127 km (79 miles) and typically takes 1 h 22 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Zwevegem lies in the west of Belgium, so most of the journey is spent on motorways heading towards the Kortrijk area. Allow some extra time if your trip falls in the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or in bad weather, as traffic can slow the stretches near larger cities.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport building with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Travelling with a team, a wedding party or a delegation visiting local companies? Private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your party and its luggage. If you are unsure which fits best, choose the next size up for extra comfort with suitcases.

About Zwevegem

Zwevegem is a municipality in West Flanders, right next to Kortrijk and not far from the French border. It is best known as the home of the wire company Bekaert, and it combines residential areas with industrial zones and open countryside. Many visitors come here for business or to see family, and the region is also a good base for exploring Kortrijk and the surrounding Flemish countryside.

Places to stay near Zwevegem

I cannot name accommodations in Zwevegem itself with confidence, so here are well-known options in neighbouring Kortrijk, a short drive away:

• Hotel Messeyne, a hotel in the centre of Kortrijk
• Hotel Broel, located by the Broel Towers on the river Leie
• Ibis Kortrijk Centrum, a practical choice for short stays

Give your driver the full address of your hotel or destination when booking so the drop-off goes smoothly.
