Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Thieu

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Thieu

Thieu lies 32 km (20 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive normally takes about 26 minutes. The route runs east of the airport through the Hainaut region, so there is no need to go near Brussels. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow some extra time if you travel at weekday rush hour or in poor weather, and tell us if you have a tight connection or an early appointment after landing.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. We have taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so you can pick the one that suits your luggage and party size. For bigger parties, such as wedding guests, business delegations, school trips or sports teams, we offer private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Tell us your passenger count and how much luggage you have when you book, and we will assign a suitable vehicle.

About Thieu

Thieu is a small village in the municipality of La Louvière, in the Walloon province of Hainaut. It is best known for its position on the Canal du Centre, near the Strépy-Thieu boat lift, a landmark of the region's waterways. The area is quiet and mostly residential, so it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point

Your driver will be waiting at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after arrivals.
