The simple way from Leuven to your budget flight at Brussels South Charleroi
Found a cheap flight out of Charleroi? Getting there from Leuven should not cost you those savings, or your nerves. Our door-to-door car is reserved online in about a minute with instant confirmation, and before the trip you receive the name, mobile number and licence plate of the person driving you. Track the car live, pay only what the booking showed, and choose any time of day or night. Brussels South Charleroi Airport is about 85 km from Leuven, a ride of roughly 55 to 65 minutes. Depending on traffic, the driver either cuts through Walloon Brabant via Wavre and Nivelles or takes the Brussels ring before heading south to the airport at Gosselies, just north of Charleroi. Public transport to Charleroi usually means a train to Brussels-South or Charleroi-Central and then a bus, which is awkward for a first departure of the day. A private car is a smart way around that for students flying home, friends sharing the trip for a city break, and anyone booked on a low-cost carrier with an early check-in. Split between up to three passengers, the per-car price becomes very reasonable. We pick up at student housing near the Naamsestraat, a flat behind Leuven station, a family home in Heverlee or Kessel-Lo, or an address in Wilsele, and set you down at the terminal entrance. We are a Belgian company with more than ten years of airport experience, and our fleet consists of modern Mercedes cars. A private transfer from Leuven to Charleroi Airport begins from €143 for the whole car with up to three passengers.
