Rates and payment options

In the FAQ, Sporting Charleroi mentions the closest car parks (Q-Park Zoé Drion and Parking Charleroi Expo), but does not always publish fixed rates on the same page there. Therefore, it is best to check the price or availability just before departure via the parking operator or the club info for that race.

Parking for visitors and supporters
