Car rental at the Liege Airport

Driving in Belgium

Very much like in the UK, driving is on the right-hand side in Belgium, something to remember before setting off on Belgium’s well-kept roads. Unlike the UK though, distance and speed are measured in kilometres and KM/H. An international driving permit is not required, your UK license will suffice.

Gas Stations and Connections

You'll easily find petrol stations near Liege Airport, including Total and Shell outposts. Major motorways, such as the A3/E40 and A13/E313, are easily accessible from the airport, offering smooth onward travel to your destination.

Local Climate and Currency

Belgium boasts a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and cool winters. Wear layers to accommodate the changeable weather, especially when visiting in spring or autumn. Belgium uses the euro (€) as its currency. Card payments are accepted widely and ATMs are conveniently located throughout the country.

Discover Wallonia

Once you've collected your rental car, you're free to traverse Wallonia's stunning landscapes, peppered with hidden gems. Be sure to explore lively Liege with its excellent art scene, gastronomic delights, and rich historical and architectural heritage. Or go a little further afield to discover Namur, Mons, and Tournai, each offering unique experiences, from towering castles to Belgian beer tasting.

Liege Airport is certainly your gateway to an unforgettable holiday in Wallonia. We hope that your journey will be smooth, and your adventures will be plentiful. Bon voyage!
