KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bruges
- Car hire in Bruges is a must-have if you are planning on exploring the many options available to you in Brussels. There is definitely no lack of public transport for a quick convenient trip, but if you really want to have the freedom to explore on your own, then car hire is a wise option. Search online and choose a car to suit your needs, and book through KAYAK in advance to score some special early bird deals. Whether you’re flying in or catching the train, there are options for car hire everywhere.
- If you’re flying into Brussels Luchthaven Zaventem Airport (BRU), then this is a convenient option for car hire in Bruges, with the widest selection of cars. Bruges is about a 1-hour journey from the airport. The hire car parks are conveniently situated at the arrivals terminals, and it’s easy to find the walkway to the pick-up car park from the airport. Booking in advance through KAYAK secures your car and provides instructions, making your travel experience comfortable and easy.
- If you are planning to take a drive into the city of Bruges, tread cautiously. It is known as the traffic capital of the world, so you are going to have to be patient. If this is your first time as a tourist to Bruges and you want to explore the inner city, it might be a good idea to leave your hire car in a car park for the day and explore the city on foot.
- The main difficulty with driving in Bruges is inner-city traffic and more traffic. Your car hire is convenient to get you in and around this famous city in Brussels but maybe not so convenient to park. We suggest you leave your hire car in a car park for the day or at your hotel and rather use the public transport.
