Top tips for renting a car in Belgium
With the exception of luxury cars, most rentals (including Europcar and Sixt) are allowed for cross-border travel in Western Europe. There are additional restrictions if you want to rent a car in Belgium and drive to Eastern Europe, and fees may apply for certain countries. You need to refer to your rental agreement or contact the agency if you have questions before setting off.
Street parking meters are used in most Belgian cities. There are also designated Blue Zones for parking, which have a maximum limit of three hours. In order to use these areas, you must purchase a special time-stamped parking permit, which is available at all police stations, most smoke shops and all petrol stations. When parking on the street, always face the direction of oncoming traffic.
Foreign nationals may require only a valid driver’s license to drive in Belgium, but it’s not a bad idea to consider an International Driver’s Permit just to be safe. Also, all passengers must wear seatbelts at all times, and you must carry a reflective vest and a reflective triangle in your car. You should perform a check on the vehicle to ensure these items are onboard before you sign the contract.
The use of child seats is mandatory for infants up to three years of age, and you must first deactivate the airbag if you’re using a rear-facing car seat on the passenger side. Also, blood-alcohol levels in Belgium are very low; the police perform regular checks and fines are hefty, so mind your intake if you’re out at dinner and intend to drive afterwards.
