Cheap National Car Rental in Brussels

Car rentals from National in Brussels are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Brussels, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
