KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Charleroi

  • 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.
  • Charleroi, like many European cities, has low-emission zones designed to improve air quality. If you are driving a Charleroi hire car, it's important to be aware of these zones and the restrictions they impose. Cars that don't meet certain emissions standards are not allowed in these zones, and there are heavy fines for those who violate these rules. Be sure to check your car's emissions rating before driving in these areas. Electric cars have zero emissions, making them an ideal choice if you plan to drive in low-emission zones in the city.
  • Charleroi is ideally located for a variety of road trips. One popular option is to head south to the beautiful Ardennes region, where you can explore charming small towns and stunning natural scenery. Another great option is to take a road trip to Brussels, which is just a short drive from Charleroi. Alternatively, you can head north to Antwerp, which is a bustling port city with a rich history and a vibrant culture.
  • Although this is a city with a reliable public transportation system, cheap car hire in Charleroi offers a level of convenience that public transport simply cannot match. With a car, you have the freedom to explore the city and its surrounding areas on your schedule. Plus, car hire in Charleroi is often very affordable, and you can often find great deals on hire cars.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Charleroi for £40 or less
  • Book your car hire in Charleroi at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Charleroi are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average

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."

We had to pay an extra 55 euros. The price shown on kayak wasn’t the final price at all and it wasn’t mentionned anywhere. A scam. Last time I book a car with kayak.
