Additionally, renting Leuven car rentals is a comfortable way to travel, especially if you’re traveling with family or friends. You don’t have to worry about carrying your luggage or standing in crowded buses and metros. A rental car is particularly useful for exploring nearby destinations like Brussels and the city of Mechelen.

You can catch the bus at the bus stop outside Arrivals; look for the Car Rental Village shuttle sign.
