Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Wakken

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Wakken

Wakken lies 131 km (82 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 29 m. The route crosses Belgium from the Hainaut region towards West Flanders, mostly on motorways before finishing on smaller local roads. This is a route that is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Ghent can slow traffic, and heavy rain or roadworks can do the same. If you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a ferry or train connection afterwards, add a comfortable buffer to the typical time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, so pick the version that matches your party and luggage. Groups beyond four people can choose a private minibus. Sizes start at 8 seats and go up in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, to a 64-seat coach-size minibus. This makes the route workable for wedding parties, company outings, sports teams and family gatherings. Tell us your passenger count and the amount of luggage when you book, so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Wakken

Wakken is a small village in West Flanders, part of the municipality of Dentergem. The surroundings are typical of the region: flat farmland, quiet lanes and a calm, rural atmosphere. Larger towns such as Tielt and Kortrijk are a short drive away. Because the village is small and addresses can be hard to find, give the driver the exact street name and house number, and a phone number where you can be reached on arrival.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks in Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there directly after leaving the baggage hall.
