Night shuttle: late or very early flight at Charleroi

At our five car parks, there is no night shuttle in the strict sense: they run from 4:00 to midnight. If your plane lands outside this window, you must get back to the car park by your own means.

What the terms say

The general terms of the five car parks, updated on 01/09/2026, are identical: the shuttles run from 04:00 to 00:00, and if the plane is delayed and lands outside this window, the customer must return to the car park by their own means.

Yet their price pages speak of a "jour et nuit" (day and night) shuttle. When two texts contradict each other, we go by the general terms and the stated hours, because those are what bind you.

Your flight lands late

As long as the landing and your exit from the terminal fall before midnight, the shuttle comes to collect you whatever the actual landing time, the car parks state. The wait is generally under 10 minutes, and each shuttle takes up to 8 people.

If your flight slips towards midnight:

  • tell the car park as soon as you know of the delay
  • ask until what time you can collect your car: the terms speak of the journey, not of access to the vehicle after closing
  • plan a backup means of transport

Your space remains reserved, the car parks specify. Going beyond the booked period may, however, lead to a supplement per day.

Work out when to leave home

Your flight leaves very early

The car parks open at 4:00. They ask you to arrive at least 2 hours before the flight and allow about thirty minutes between your arrival at the car park and the airport. Added together, these times mean that a flight before 6:30 no longer leaves this margin, even if you arrive as soon as they open.

In that case, ask the car park before booking, or look at another solution.

The car parks where you walk

Without a shuttle, walking is what counts. On its access page, the airport gives 5 minutes for P1, 10 for P2, 15 on foot for P4 and 20 on foot for P3.

It does not publish the timetable of the paid P3 shuttle on the pages read on 03/11/2026, nor the access hours of these car parks: check them on e-Parking before a night flight.

Frequently asked questions

Does the shuttle collect me after midnight?

No, according to the terms of our five car parks: it runs from 4:00 to midnight, and a plane landing outside this window means you must get back to the car park by your own means.

What should I do if my flight is delayed?

Tell the car park as soon as possible and ask until what time you can collect your car. Your space remains yours, but the shuttle stops at midnight.
