When booking a rental car in, clarify all insurance costs upfront and ensure they’re included in your booking confirmation to avoid surprise charges. Double-check the car model availability, inspect the car thoroughly for damage, and document everything with photos. Make sure the return process is clearly explained to avoid confusion. Finally, read reviews and choose a reliable company to minimize issues.

Have an adventure in Belgium with your Charleroi car hire and enjoy the flexibility that comes with car hire. Rather than waiting around for other modes of transport, which can be inconvenient, opt for a hire car in Charleroi and choose when and where you travel. Take a drive to the Musée de la Photographie à Charleroi to catch an exhibition, before taking your car hire further afield. Visit the capital of the country, Brussels, in 1h at your convenience and enjoy fine cuisine and stunning architecture. Much better than waiting for alternative transport such as a bus or taxi, you’ll appreciate the flexibility that comes with your Charleroi car hire.
In under an hour, you can get to the main airport in Belgium, Brussels Airport (BRU), where you can find a variety of car hire companies offering a range of vehicles. As there is only one terminal at this airport, it’s easy to locate the car hire offices upon your arrival. In the arrivals hall, once you’ve collected your luggage and have got through security, you will find well-known companies such as Avis, Thrifty and Enterprise, where you can choose your vehicle for your onward journey. You can also drive to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) in about 15min from the centre of the city, where you will also find car hire services like Avis in the arrivals hall.
Charleroi is a relatively small city in the Hainaut province of Belgium. However, this doesn’t stop the roads from getting busy throughout the year with visitors interested in the museums and galleries. Expect the roads such as Rue du Cazier to be busy due to the popular Glass Museum, so keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road without looking when you are driving in this area. Belgium is also a very popular country for cycling, with many routes going through Charleroi. So be aware of cyclists getting close to your car when you are driving in the centre of town.
Lots of locals from Charleroi commute to Brussels for work during the week, which makes the roads busier during rush hour, which is from 07:00 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 19:00. If possible, avoid driving your car hire in Charleroi during these times, as you are more likely to get stuck in traffic. One road particularly affected is the N5, which connects Charleroi to Brussels. The weekends are also likely to be busier due to the various museums and galleries the city has. Around these attractions, the roads will be busier and parking will be harder to find.
Economy hire cars in Charleroi are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

Not recommended. Europacar refused to give us the car unless we hired an extra insurance. We had our credit car insurance with a broad coverage, damages to others included, but they just said that that was the law and only gave us the keys once we hire the extra insurance. That is a scam, don’t use Kayak nor Europacar.

First, at pickup, I had to pay an additional €35 for full insurance. This was not communicated beforehand when I was reserving the car. In my opinion, this is deceptive, but at the time, I had no other option because it was late, and I needed the car. Additionally, the lady at the counter mentioned that the price for basic insurance and full insurance was the same, which felt like another form of deception. When I reserved the car, I selected a VW Golf or a similar model, but she offered me an Audi A1. What’s the point of choosing a car during the reservation if she can decide which car to give me? The car return process was also poorly explained, and I faced a small issue when returning the vehicle. Moreover, the person inspecting the car claimed there was a damage, which I did not cause. He simply said, 'Don’t worry, you have full insurance.' Yet again, this felt like another attempt to take advantage of the situation. Overall, my experience with this rental company was full of small deceptions."

They insist insurance what I don't need as mandatory. I cannot help to buy it otherwise they don't give the key. It is totally not acceptable.
