KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Zaventem

  • Public buses give you limited access to many unique attractions in and far from the city, and most of them travel on specific routes and offer a slow journey. On the other hand, car hire in Zaventem gives freedom, and you can enjoy a flexible trip. This way, you can drive to destinations of choice during your stay in the city. When driving a hire car, you can visit Scheldt Plain Nature Park House, about 100 km (62 miles) away and Zoo Antwerpen, around 48 km (30 miles) from the city.
  • If you land at Brussel Airport (BRU) when visiting Zaventem, you can hire a car at the airport. Car hire companies, including Enterprise, Alamo, Keddy by Europcar, and Dollar, are located at the Arrivals Hall of the airport. Getting to the car hire offices is easy because the airport provides complimentary shuttle services. In addition, most Zaventem car hire companies recommend customers book in advance for a smooth journey.
  • Roads in Zaventem are well-connected and marked, and most are modern roads. In addition, the streets are well-lit, making them visible when driving at night. This makes it easy to drive around the city. However, some roads can be congested, especially when tourists visit the city, so using car hire in Zaventem can often be difficult. Thus, you need to be keen and ensure pedestrian safety. In addition, drink-driving is prohibited, and the maximum blood alcohol concentration should be 0.05.
  • Rush hour in Zaventem is usually between 08:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. It's caused mainly by commuters going to and from work. One street to avoid during rush hours is Lloyd George because it's frequently congested. Therefore, consider using backstreet routes to avoid delays in your journey. You can also avoid traffic by starting the tour journey earlier.
  • Book your rental car in Zaventem at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Zaventem are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

Had heard negative reviews, but have to say this was one of the most efficient car rental experiences we have had. The car was exactly what we reserved and the counters on each end very quick and easy.

Cancelled our reservation without contacting us. Hired a taxi to take us to the rental spot only to find out it had been canceled without notifying beforehand. They only had a compact to give us when we booked a larger car. Sent us to another location at the airport which they said had our size car available, required hiring another taxi. Arrived at that location and was told they have no cars. Hired another taxi to go back to the original location and had no choice but to take the small compact or nothing. Crammed 4 people and bags into that car. Spent $100 on hired taxis. Ruined 3 days of travel plans. No discount for trouble. Only a discount because of the difference in size category. Not happy. Very, very unhappy. Will not use kayak or sixt again.

Smooth pick up, new car. But nobody warned me about gas payment included, which is optional. You can see it in an agreement but with strange wording.

The staff were really friendly. The only red flag for them is that they tried to include always more extra things (insurance and extra coverage), even they changed my reservation and added me an extra day when i didn´t want that.

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.
