Car rental in Brussels

Starting with the iconic Atomium, zoom out to the historic Grand Place. Navigate the cobbled streets with your handy rental, savouring the aroma of freshly-baked waffles wafting through the air.

Car Class Recommendations

Compact cars are perfectly suited for Brussels, making it a breeze to manoeuvre through narrow streets and park in tight spaces. For a family on the move, consider renting an SUV or a van for added comfort and luggage space.

Parking and Traffic

As in the UK, Belgium follows the right-hand traffic rule. Brussels has ample public parking, with "blue zone" areas free for up to two hours between 9 am and 6 pm, Monday to Saturday. Always keep an eye on traffic updates, as Brussels can have busy traffic during peak hours.

Travel Savvy

While Euros are the currency, the city is well equipped with ATMs and credit cards are widely accepted. Unlike in Britain, remember to carry a bilingual accident report in your car, as it could be an essential document in case of an accident.

Alluring Belgium

From Art Nouveau marvels in the Ixelles district to the multicultural charm of Molenbeek, different Brussels' neighbourhoods offer unique slices of Belgium's life that's best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, from the comfort of your rental car. Expand your journey by visiting the nearby cities of Ghent, Bruges, and Antwerp, each less than an hour's drive from Brussels.

Festive Vibes

Brussels astoundingly carries its rich history along with its embrace of contemporary life. Seasonal events like the Ommegang Pageant in July or the Christmas Market in winter are can't-miss spectacles.

Driving Regulations

Lastly, do note that speed limits in Brussels are typically limited to 50 km/h in the city, while motorways allow up to 120 km/h. Also, remember that unlike the UK, wearing a seatbelt is mandatory in both the front and back seats in Belgium.

Have a fantastic Belgian holiday!
