Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Houthulst

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet him without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Charleroi to Houthulst

The transfer covers 159 km (99 miles) and typically takes 1 h 44 m. It is a long trip across Belgium, from Hainaut in the south to West Flanders in the north-west. Houthulst is not a frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request like any other route. Heavy traffic, roadworks or bad weather can lengthen the trip, so build in some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a ceremony or a check-in deadline at the other end.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they have:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 passengers who want extra space for bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for tour groups, school trips, delegations and other large parties.

If you are unsure which option fits, choose by passenger count and add a size up when you carry bulky luggage such as prams, sports equipment or musical instruments.

About Houthulst

Houthulst is a municipality in the province of West Flanders, in a rural area of fields and woodland. It is best known for Houthulst Forest, one of the larger wooded areas in the region. The surrounding countryside was also part of the Ypres Salient battlefields of the First World War, so many visitors come for the war memorials and cemeteries nearby. Outside the village centre you will mostly find quiet country roads, which makes a door-to-door transfer a practical way to arrive.
