Airport Transportation in Charleroi

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Charleroi takes you from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to hotels and apartments in central Brussels and the European Quarter, to Brussels-Midi station, and to Charleroi, Namur, Mons and Waterloo.

Charleroi Airport Transfers

Charleroi airport transfers start in the arrivals area of the terminal your flight uses, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Charleroi airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in Brussels or Wallonia, with no change at Brussels-Midi or Charleroi-Central. Going on to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Lille or Luxembourg? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Charleroi Airport Shuttle

Our Charleroi airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a coach timed to the next flight with a stop at Brussels-Midi. It leaves when you have your bags and takes you to your own address, which suits families, groups and travelers with ski bags or strollers.

Landing at Charleroi Airport

Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) is in Gosselies, on the northern edge of Charleroi, and is a different airport from Brussels Airport (BRU) at Zaventem. It has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, about five minutes apart on foot; flights are assigned to either one, so check which terminal yours uses.

Flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK and Morocco, you line up at passport control. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals area, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Belgium is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.

Local notes

Schengen entry

Belgium is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Charleroi, not Zaventem

Airlines sell this airport as Brussels Charleroi or Brussels South, but it is not Brussels Airport (BRU), so check the code on your ticket and give us the right airport.

Two languages

Brussels is officially bilingual, so many streets carry both a French and a Dutch name; give your full address with the postal code so your driver finds it straight away.

Strike days

Belgium holds national strike and demonstration days from time to time, and flights at Charleroi have been canceled on some of them, so check with your airline if one is announced.

Charleroi Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Charleroi Airport?

In the arrivals area of the terminal your flight uses, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. Charleroi has two terminals, so check which one your flight arrives at.

How far is Charleroi Airport from Brussels?

The airport is about 46 km (29 miles) south of Brussels, and the drive to the center usually takes 45 minutes to an hour, longer at rush hour. Charleroi city center is only about 7 km (4 miles) away.

Is Charleroi Airport the same as Brussels Airport?

No. Charleroi (CRL) is in Gosselies, south of Brussels, while Brussels Airport (BRU) is at Zaventem, north-east of the city. Check the code on your ticket and book from the right airport.

Can you take me to central Brussels or the European Quarter?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels and apartments around the Grand-Place, the European Quarter, Ixelles, Saint-Gilles and the rest of Brussels.

Can you take me to Brussels-Midi station?

Yes. We drive you to Brussels-Midi (Bruxelles-Midi / Brussel-Zuid) for Eurostar and high-speed trains. Give us your train time when you book.

Can you take me to Namur, Mons or Waterloo?

Yes. We drive to hotels and homes in Namur, Mons, Waterloo and Charleroi itself, door to door.

Can you take me to Bruges, Ghent or Antwerp?

Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp are in Flanders, farther north. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Can you take me to Lille or Luxembourg?

Lille in France and Luxembourg are across the border. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Which terminal will I arrive at?

Charleroi has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, about five minutes apart on foot. Your airline assigns the terminal flight by flight, so check the arrival screens and share it with your driver.

Do you drive to apartments and vacation rentals?

Yes. Give the full street address with the postal code, the apartment number and any entrance details. Where a street is pedestrian, as around the Grand-Place, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can I book a transfer for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Many Charleroi flights land late in the evening or leave early in the morning, when buses and trains are scarce. Give your flight details when you book and the pickup is set to match.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Charleroi Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Charleroi Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel or home, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security at the right terminal.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Brussels South Charleroi Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from CRL; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Charleroi airport page.

How many people can a van carry?

It depends on the vehicle. Each vehicle shows its maximum number of passengers and suitcases before you book, so you can choose one that fits your group.

How do I find you at the airport?

What kind of vehicles do you use?

Commonly Toyota Hiace, Volkswagen Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Chevrolet Suburban.

Do children pay differently than adults?

No. Prices are set per passenger range or per vehicle, not per age.

Is my reservation refundable?

Do drivers speak English?

Yes. While their English may not be native-level, drivers have the skills to communicate with passengers.

Tips are not mandatory but are highly recommended; drivers earn them through service quality.

What currencies are accepted?

All prices are in USD. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts the charge at its own exchange rate.

Are pets allowed?

We can transport domestic pets kept in cages that fit in a normal vehicle.

Is there room for luggage?

Yes. There is plenty of room for one suitcase and one carry-on per person.
