Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Brussels and throughout Belgium, offering you many convenient pickup and return options across the city and region. The most requested pickup points are at Brussels Airport (Brussels Airport – Zaventem, BRU), where rental desks operate in a dedicated passenger complex, and at Brussels-Midi/Zuid central train station (Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid), which receives high-speed trains from Europe. In addition, you'll find more branches in the city center, in the European Union institutions district, along Avenue Louise, and in other central neighborhoods – allowing you to choose the most convenient point for your itinerary. Access from Brussels is quick to the E40 and E19 highways, making it easy to embark on star trips to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, or the Ardennes region. If you're arriving on low-cost flights, you can rent a car at Charleroi Airport (CRL), located about 55 km south of Brussels, for pickup or return there as availability allows.
Operating hours vary by branch: airport branches generally have extended hours, while city branches typically operate during regular business hours, and some are not open on Sundays. At some locations, late drop-offs can be done via a key box, subject to site policy. It is important to confirm in advance that your chosen station is open at your time of arrival or departure, so you can pick up and return the car at the place and time convenient for you. Early booking helps to ensure the availability of vehicle categories and better prices, and allows you to add extras such as safety seats, an additional driver, or a navigation system as needed. In many cases, pickup and return can be combined at different points, within the city or beyond, though this may sometimes incur an additional fee. Upon pickup, ensure you have a valid driver's license, passport, and an international credit card in the name of the main driver. If you plan to enter central Brussels, note that there are traffic and pollution restrictions (LEZ) in the area and parking is regulated – it's recommended to check current regulations and plan accordingly.
Here are four short tips to help you rent a car abroad with peace of mind: cost savings, avoiding surprises at the counter, and controlling important insurances and conditions — so you can travel confidently in any destination and season, with appropriate documents and an understanding of fuel and deposit policies.
Book Early and Save
Better prices and car options are often available with early booking. Look for flexible change/cancellation policies to adjust dates and flights without penalties — especially during peak seasons.
Proper Credit Card and License
In most destinations, a physical credit card in the main driver's name is required for a deposit, along with a valid driver's license and sometimes an international permit. Ensure it matches the reservation name and age requirements.
Fuel and Mileage
Prefer a Full-to-Full policy to pay only for what you use, and check if there is a mileage limit. Don't forget to refuel close to return and keep the receipt to avoid charges.
Insurance, Deposit, and Deductibles
Check what is covered in the policy (damage, theft, third party) and the deductible and deposit amounts at the counter. Taking photos at pickup/return can save disputes and unnecessary charges.
