Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Nijlen

The Drive from Charleroi to Nijlen

Nijlen lies 123 km (77 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 29 m. The route heads north across Belgium, so most of the journey is on motorway before the last stretch on local roads into the Antwerp province. Because Nijlen is a quiet municipality rather than a major hub, your driver will take you straight to your door instead of to a central drop-off point.

Allow extra time if your transfer falls in the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when traffic around Brussels and Antwerp slows down. Bad weather can also add minutes. Planning a little buffer is sensible if you have a connection, an appointment or a check-in time at the other end.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over and meet your driver without delay.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, depending on how much luggage you carry. When you travel with more people, the minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps of eight through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, up to a 64-seat coach-style minibus. That makes the route workable for family gatherings, wedding parties, sports teams, school trips and company groups alike.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: minibus with 8 seats
• 9-64 passengers: minibus with 16 to 64 seats, chosen to match your group size

This route is booked less often than the airport's busiest ones, but it is available on request in exactly the same way as any other.
