Top tips for renting a car in Brussels

  • To get the most out of cheap car rentals in Brussels, it’s important to know about national Belgian holidays and local Brussels events that may result in extra traffic. For three days at the end of May, the Belgian Jazz Marathon sees huge crowds and musical performances around the Grand Place, the Sablon, and the Place St Catherine. Later, in late October or early November, the autumn marathon sees hundreds (if not thousands) of runners racing around Brussels. Traffic will slow around Parc du Cinquantenaire and the Grand-Palance downtown. Finally, the Christmas markets during December will cause traffic congestion around the Grand-Palace area in downtown Brussels.
  • Those driving cheap car rentals in Brussels don’t have to worry about accidentally driving on toll roads. That’s because both the city of Brussels and the country of Belgium only charge tolls for transportation trucks that weigh more than 3.5 tons. That means passenger rental cars are exempt from nearly all tolls. The only exception is when you drive through the Liefkeshoek tunnel in the northwestern part of Antwerp, which is about 1 h from Brussels. If you do that, then all rental cars must pay a toll of about EUR 6 (around USD 6.20). You may pay this toll in cash.
  • Drivers of Brussels car rentals do have the option of using carpool lanes. However, these aren’t very popular and are quite rare in the country of Belgium. Although there aren’t any carpool or high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in the city itself, there is one if you’re heading from Brussels to Wavre along the E411 highway. To use the HOV lane, you must have a total of three passengers (the driver plus two other passengers). It’s located between the first lane and the shoulder of the road and is monitored by surveillance cameras. Those seen to be violating the rules pay a fine.
  • 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 rental 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 rental 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 rental 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 rental 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.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Brussels for $40 or less
  • 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 4% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Economy rental cars in Brussels are around 5% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

We switched our drop off after the terror attempt at another train station. This location (because of the drop off time) made it a lot harder to get the the airport. And there was little in the way of security. We ended up taking a taxi instead of the train. Not Avis fault at all. Just a complication.
