Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Tollembeek

The Drive from CRL to Tollembeek

The transfer covers 56 km (35 miles) and typically takes around 50 minutes. Most of the route runs north-west from Charleroi through Hainaut and into Flemish Brabant, so you move from the Walloon side of the country to the Flemish side along the way. Tollembeek is a less frequently requested destination, but the transfer is arranged on request just like any other route. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when the roads around Brussels and the Ring can slow down, and in poor winter weather.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small parties are well served by a private taxi: one version seats 1-3 passengers, the other 1-4 passengers, which helps if you are travelling with a bit more luggage. For bigger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits wedding parties, family gatherings, sports teams and company trips heading for the area. Pick the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage you have, and the driver will take you straight to your address in Tollembeek.

About Tollembeek

Tollembeek is a small village in the municipality of Galmaarden, in the Flemish Brabant province. It lies in the rolling countryside of the Pajottenland, a quiet agricultural region west of Brussels, close to the border with Wallonia. Expect peaceful lanes, farmland and a village setting rather than a big-city atmosphere. Because it is a small place, it is best to have the exact street address ready for your driver, especially if you are going to a private home, a farm or a rural venue.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. If you cannot see your driver straight away, stay close to the café and look for your name on the sign.
