KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brussels

  • Renting a car in Brussels allows you to explore the city's different districts freely and comfortably while avoiding the crowds in public transport. The Belgian capital is easy to navigate, and the roads are well paved and safe to drive on. A hire car is the perfect option for travelers looking to discover other destinations outside the city, such as the picturesque Gaasbeek Castle 9 miles outside of Brussels. Other popular day trips include Antwerp, less than an hour's drive from Brussels, and Bruges, about an hour and a half away.
  • All the big car hire agencies, including Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz, can be found in the Arrivals Hall of Brussels Airport (BRU). The airport is located around 7 miles from the city, and the hire rate tends to be the same regardless of whether you book your vehicle in advance or upon arrival. When returning your car to the airport, the car hire entrance is situated on the left side of the airport's access road, as if you're heading to the Front Park 1.
  • Traffic rules in Brussels are very strict. All vehicles coming from the right have priority, and passing another car is forbidden in several locations, including traffic ramps, intersections where the right-hand priority is implemented, or during bad weather. If you're visiting in the winter, be extra cautious as the weather can get quite rough, and rain and snow are constant.
  • Traffic jams are quite common in Brussels, so make sure you avoid the usual rush hours so you don't add extra time to your travels. Morning rush hour is typically between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., while evening rush hour is normally between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Traffic congestion also peaks in September, when everyone is back from vacation and starting school, sp visiting in the summer months will contribute to a smoother driving experience.
  • Book your rental car in Brussels at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Brussels are around 285% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Economy rental cars in Brussels are around 7% more expensive than other car types, on average

Brussels car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Brussels 
Verified travelerDec 2023
Mind the traffic (best to reserve for a longer duration)
nicolasauclaireOct 2023
Have plenty of time at pick up and drop off to check your car and don't leave without checking any scratch ( more than 1 cm ) or nicks in the car Same thing on return . Get your car check by an employee and don't just drop the keys . The driving is very tight and it's very easy to have your car damaged even after you left. Remember until an employee as check the car and close the contract any damaged is yours ! Dropping the keys is not the end of your trip !!

FAQs about renting a car in Brussels

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Brussels?

    If you're just planning on driving around the city, a small automatic car that is easy to park is the best option. But if you're planning on a road trip to other Belgian cities or even neighboring countries, consider a sedan — particularly if you're traveling with the entire family, as it offers more space and comfort for everyone.

  • What’s the speed limit in Brussels?

    The speed limit in the city is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), but it may be as low as 12 mph in certain residential areas. The speed limit on open roads is 90 km/h (56 mph) and on highways, it is set at 120 km/h (75 mph). If, for some reason, the speed limit lowers in specific places, traffic signs will always be posted.

  • Where are the best places to park in Brussels?

    In the city center, street parking is paid from Monday to Saturday, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. You can leave your car for an unlimited amount of time (except in busy shopping areas), and meter pricing ranges between €1 ($1.13) and €2.50 ($2.83) per hour. For long-term stays, it's best to leave it at one of the many parking lots, which cost a maximum of €28 ($32) a day. To avoid parking in the city center altogether, drop your vehicle at one of the free Park and Ride facilities on the outskirts of Brussels.

  • What is the cheapest car hire company in Brussels?

    In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at Hertz ($61/day), Budget ($111/day) and Thrifty ($112/day). In the last 72 hours the cheapest hire car price was found at Hertz Brussels Airport 1930 (11 kilometres from the city centre).

The service provided by Neusa (employee from Sixt in Brussels Midi) was really efficient, she provided every piece of information related to the rent of the car. So I felt that was really good service and everything was according to our expectations.

Kayak\Expedia applies to all the US rates. For a EU citizen this results in apparently low rates on web and terrible insurance covers which require to buy an additional insurance at a rate that is higher than for EU citizens. I cancelled the booking and made one directly on the Budget web site. I saved money, but I could not find the same car available since it was still booked throug my former reservation for a while. The local vendor did his best to help me and was accomodating for all issues, bening transparent and informative. Your process however is not transparent AT ALL in your web sites. I do not know if it is car companies or resellers or both to be PIRATES, but I blame all for profitting from distracted customers.

The car was in good shape with minor issues. Like the clutch has big wear, and tyres were unevenly inflated. Services were poor, having the car reserved by 1200pm(noon) I have received it only 50’ after that time, while I was waiting in their lobby, because the car was at car wash. Poor scheduling from them. After dropping the car, did not receive the invoice, even after 24hrs.

The pick-up/drop-off process is seamless and worry free. I just found the price of a GPS quite high. I also got a notice that one of the front tires was deflated just as I got on the highway after leaving the airport. However, inflating tires is free in Belgium and it was only a momentary issue.

I reserved through kayak/Expedia for 55 Euros. When I get to the location, there was a mandatory 60 euro "location fee" that was not discloses during the reservation. I cancelled the reservation and left this feel should have been disclosed at reservation because I had other options available to me from other agencies that were cheaper than total 105 euros.
