Belgium is widely regarded as a hotspot for cyclists, but driving through the country can offer a quick and easy way to get around. This tiny country is home to many historic and aesthetically beautiful cities, from its capital, Belgium, to its most populous municipality, Antwerp. Hiring a car in Belgium will give you the flexibility you need to explore Belgium on the open road.
North and South Belgium - known as Flanders and Wallonia, respectively - are amazingly different but equally interesting. Flanders is home to many of the nation's oldest cities, while Wallonia nestles the country's more bucolic landscapes (and is home to its French-speaking population). You can easily navigate between the two regions with a Belgium car hire from DriveNow.

Belgium is a relatively small country, so getting around is made easy by driving. However, there are a few things to note. Belgium's freeways are toll-free, which is one of the many benefits of driving here.
However, be aware of the French priorite a droit (priority to the right) rule when driving. This driving practise states that traffic coming from the right gets the go-ahead - so if a driver on your right is trying to merge from a country road, slow down to let him or her go in front of you.
Upon arriving to pick up your car hire, you'll need to pay with a credit card.
