Car Hire Brussels

Hi, I'm going to be visiting Brussels/Holland later this month for a couple of days on the Eurostar arriving in Brussels Zuid Stn. I've done a search for car hire in Brussels with this site's suggestions - kayak etc but the prices are more than I was expecting.

Does anyone know if there are other providers? I would also like to be able to pick up the car in Brussels and return there but drive to Holland and Belgium. Thanks.

    What cost per day are you getting?

    How many days is the hire?

    2 days hire and I'm getting minimum £65 for the 2 days.

    I understood that car hire in the continent is very cheap? Obviously, going through the UK car hire companies will increase the price.

    Have a look on google maps for other locations nearby that may have more car hire providers.

    I find skyscanner and carrentals.co.uk to be good.

    Yes, I've tried sites like that but I'm still getting the same results. Obviously I was hoping for something similar to here in UK.

    Are you checking for no more than a 48 hour rental?

    Yes! It's a Fri-Sun rental and so maybe that increases the price?

    Just to clarify, Brussels is in Belgium.

    Holiday Autos is quoting 74 euros which seems pretty reasonable for peak season.

    I've used Economy Car Hire before, based in the UK & helpful staff. Maybe try their website?
