Whether you?re planning to sample mouth-watering chocolates, fall for the charms of Bruges or tour the pretty Ardenne region you?re guaranteed to find the perfect Belgian holiday escape with car rental.
Situated in northwest Europe, the Kingdom of Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 square miles) and has a population of approximately 10.5 million. ?Belgium? derives from Gallia Belgica, a Roman province situated in the northernmost part of Gaul, that was inhabited by the Belgae, a mix of Celtic and Germanic clans.
Often unfairly classed as a mere go-between for people travelling to France or the Netherlands, Belgium in its own right offers plenty of scope in terms of hire car touring. In Belgium, hiring a car opens up a range of charming and unspoilt landscapes, soaked in history and offering plenty of diversity. Belgium?s capital, Brussels is probably the country?s biggest tourist draw. Brussels is a city that has long been a favourite short break destination and it?s easy to see why. The Belgian capital boasts impressive Gothic buildings, iconic sights such as the Mannekin-Pis, a lively nightlife and a wonderful shopping scene. However, it?s always good to escape the bright lights of the city for a while to get a true feeling for the culture of a country. Hitting the open roads of Belgium, you?ll encounter sleepy seaside towns, breathtaking woodland gorges of the Ardenne region and the enchanting medieval castles and palaces that have inspired a treasure trove of local folklore and fairytales. On your travels, be sure to include a trip to Bruges in your Belgium car hire adventure. Bruges is renowned for its elegant canals, charming architecture and pretty cobbled streets and makes for the perfect place to while away a few hours. Belgium?s excellent transportation infrastructure means the country has become integrated with the rest of Europe.
Despite its ?crossroads? status, Belgium has managed to retain an important sense of self. Its distinct territories of Flemish Flanders and French Wallonia have successfully preserved their unique language and traditions, which is a reflection of the country?s strength of character. After an action-packed day of exploring, time spent sampling a cool local brew is by far the best way to rewind. Belgium can boast up to 300 varieties of beer, as well as some of the best cuisine and desserts to ever pass your lips. Belgium is the home of chocolate. Everywhere you go you?ll find enticing chocolatiers tempting passers-by with glossy window displays and free tastes. Belgium?s chocolate truffles make for the perfect souvenir for friends and family. Don?t forget to spoil yourself too!
Wherever your Belgian car hire adventure takes you, you?re guaranteed to find something to captivate, inspire and impress. In terms of charming cities, friendly hospitality and fascinating history, Belgium has it all. It?s just waiting to be discovered by you. Car hire in Belgium makes it possible to experience some of Europe?s prettiest scenery at a low cost. As a tourist destination, Belgium offers extensive choice in terms of interesting locations, while car hire allows you to explore all that Belgium has to offer at your leisure.

My Rented Vacation - The RV Saga
My wife and I have a tradition of vacationing the month of January at a quaint little area in Florida.

Several couples caravan south in our RVs to escape the harsh winter weather which seams to get worse the older we get.
