Belgium car hire information

Driving tips

Mandatory items
Every vehicle must carry a warning triangle, first aid kit, fire extinguisher and reflective vest. Check that your rental company provides these items.

Language
It best to know how your destination is spelt in both French and Flemish (Dutch), as the name may be spelt differently depending where you are in the country.

Priority to the right
Vehicles merging from the right always have priority, so you must let right joining traffic merge. However, trams always have right of way, regardless of which side they’re merging from.

Idling
Keeping your engine running unnecessarily for any length of time while you're parked is prohibited.

As the centre of Belgium (and in many ways Europe) Brussels is the perfect base for day trips around Belgium or road trips across the border.

What’s it famous for? As the head of the European Union, Brussels is well-known as one of the most international cities in the world.

Its cuisine, markets, vast amount of green space and architecture are also highly recognised. The Grand-Place or Grote Markt is one of the best preserved plazas in Europe, lined with elegant architecture and rich decoration.

When to go: Rainfall in the city is similar to London and Amsterdam, where skies are often clouded over waiting to open up. April and May see the least amount of rain and the days are filled with glorious blue skies, making it a great time for exploring Brussels by foot.

Useful advice

Tip: If you’re arriving at Brussels Zaventem Airport and spending a few days in the city before heading to other parts of the country, consider picking up your rental in Diegem, located near the airport on the outskirts of the city. This way you can avoid struggling to park in Brussels and score a better deal on your car.
