Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Thulin

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Thulin

Thulin lies 61 km (38 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the trip usually takes about 42 minutes. The route runs west through Hainaut, so it is a fairly straightforward drive without a trip through central Brussels. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow some extra time during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours and in bad weather, as roads in the region can be slower then. If you have a connecting appointment or a tight schedule, plan a small buffer on top of the 42 minutes.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a group of five to eight with suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats: for tour groups, teams, wedding parties and company events, with a size for every group up to 64 passengers.

If you are unsure which size to pick, count both people and bags, then choose the next size up for comfort.

About Thulin

Thulin is a small village in the municipality of Hensies, in the Belgian province of Hainaut, close to the French border. It is a quiet, mostly residential place, so most travellers come here to visit family and friends, for work in the surrounding area, or to explore this western corner of Wallonia. Having a private transfer is practical here, since the village is not a major hub and a door-to-door ride saves you from planning your own route.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at the Starbucks in the airport terminal, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head straight there after baggage claim.
