Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Turnhout

The drive from CRL to Turnhout

The route covers 144 km (90 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 41 m. It runs from the Charleroi area north through Belgium to the Campine region in the province of Antwerp. Turnhout is not a route many travellers book, so it helps to confirm your destination address ahead of time. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp can slow the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection.

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, families or solo travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, depending on how much luggage you carry. Groups of up to 8 can take an 8-seat minibus. For bigger parties such as school trips, sports teams, company outings or wedding guests, the minibus range continues with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle to it.

Turnhout as a destination

Turnhout is a regional centre in the Kempen area, close to the Dutch border. It is known for its long tradition of playing-card production, which is the subject of the National Museum of Playing Cards. The town also has a historic market square and a béguinage that is part of the UNESCO-listed Flemish béguinages. It works well as a base for visiting the surrounding countryside, or for business and family visits in the area.

Planning your arrival

A direct transfer saves you from piecing together several connections with luggage on the way to a smaller town. Keep the full street address of your hotel or home to hand, plus a mobile number we can reach. After a drive of roughly an hour and forty minutes, you are taken straight to your door in Turnhout.
