Top tips for hiring a car at Brussels Airport

  • Whether you’re on a corporate or tourist visit, getting a car rental at Bruxelles-National Airport (BRU) is the best option. You can easily traverse different parts of the Belgian capital that can’t be accessed fully by public transportation options. Renting a car lets you beat Brussels traffic because you can opt for alternative routes. You’ll also save time by avoiding unnecessary stops, which is common when using public transport. The cost of hiring a taxi to various destinations is much higher than renting when you look at the overall charges.
  • Picking up your car when you get a car rental at Bruxelles-National Airport is quite effortless. BRU has multiple rental companies with on-site desks. All car rental desks at the airport are located in the Arrivals section. Walk straight to your preferred company’s rental desk and present the required documents. After processing, you’ll sign a rental contract and be directed to the Rental Car Park, a short distance from the Arrivals Hall. Check the car properly for any damages or scratches, and make sure your maps are working perfectly.
  • Most car rental suppliers make returning your vehicle easier when you opt for a car rental at Bruxelles-National Airport. You can return the car to the drop-off location indicated in your rental voucher or contract. Some allow you to park the vehicle where you collected it. You should pay attention to the return period stated in your agreement. Make sure you return the car before the agreed time to avoid additional charges. Upon returning, collect your items, inspect the vehicle for any damages, and head straight to your rental company’s desk to finalize the process.
  • Bruxelles-National Airport is one of the busiest airports in Brussels and is popular among most travelers visiting the Belgian capital. The airport can get busy from March through May and from September to October. Most rental companies record high bookings during this period, so you’ll likely encounter high traffic in the car rental section. You’ll also experience challenges picking up or dropping off your rental car at the airport during weekends, holidays, special events, festivals, and when the city is hosting a major conference.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire at Brussels Airport for AED 160 or less

No blame on Alamo, but a blame on Kayak and Expedia. My search on Kayak resulted in me opting for a car (insurance included) at Alamo at Brussels Airport. But instead of directing me to the Alamo website for actual booking, Kayak sent me to the Expedia website (intermediary) where I then did the booking. When I turned up at the Alamo counter in Brussels, it turned out they had a reservation without insurance on my name. And I had not received any voucher from Expedia or Kayak, so I had to put up more money to make sure I was insured. (Calling the Expedia so-called "customer center" was the usual ordeal, of course: ultra-long wait times and horribly annoying robo-menus, leading to 0% result and 100% frustration.)

Pick up and drop off were efficient but very little instruction on car and procedure of return. Also we had a nice upgrade but didn’t realize how narrow everything is in Brussels-could hardly get in and out of the parking garage as it was narrow and on an incline- couldn’t see street until we were on it.

On the website I booked a good rate but that excluded a lot of compulsory extra charges. so ended up paying €200 more, which was surprising and really misleading.

Hertz REQUIRE a passport and flight ticket for vehicle rental. They WILL NOT rent out a vehicle without them. I was not a traveller coming into the country. I live near the airport and I needed the rental car to get to a job interview and I couldn't get it.

The car was in good shape with minor issues. Like the clutch has big wear, and tyres were unevenly inflated. Services were poor, having the car reserved by 1200pm(noon) I have received it only 50’ after that time, while I was waiting in their lobby, because the car was at car wash. Poor scheduling from them. After dropping the car, did not receive the invoice, even after 24hrs.

They wrongfully charge me for a scratch I didn’t make. I showed them a video I took of the whole car before the pickup, but no one answered the email or phone. They just sent an email saying they found a scratch, and will charge me $500 for it and went ahead and charged my credit card. Had to go through a process of dispute with the credit card company. The issue is that THERE IS NO INW TO TALK TO on Avis side. You can imagine how frustrated that is
