Belgium Budget Campervan and Motorhome Hire

Who doesn't want to explore Belgium in a campervan? Belgium is so well equipped with great campsites and places to visit that why wouldn't you?

The Cheapest Way to Hire a Campervan for Belgium

The Cheapest Way to tour Belgium in a Campervan is actually to start your rental from Lille in France. This is because the cost to rent from Brussels can include a pick-up and return fee of €850.00, as these vehicles are sent from outside the country.

This is why it’s often cheaper to rent a campervan from other depots in France, Germany and the Netherlands. Amsterdam is only 200 km away from Brussels, and you’re sure to have a great adventure starting your Belgium trip from this epic city. 

That said, the Brussels Campervans and Motorhomes for rent are very good quality vehicles, and booking well ahead of your trip often reduces the daily rate, especially if you hire your Belgium motorhome for 30 days or more.

If the extra fees charged for the Brussels collection are not a problem, then the 2-berth with shower and WC is great. There are two versions of this campervan - one has a large double bed, and the other has two single beds.

Why Hire a Campervan in Belgium?

Belgium may be compact, but that's exactly what makes it such an ideal destination for a campervan holiday. There are 16 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across this relatively small country, so in just a few hours, you can travel from medieval cities and peaceful countryside to sandy North Sea beaches, rolling hills covered in forest and world-famous battlefields.


Hiring a campervan gives you the freedom to experience Belgium at your own pace. Spend the morning wandering through Bruges' cobbled streets, enjoy lunch at a brewery in Ghent, then park up near the Ardennes for an evening surrounded by nature. With short driving distances and brilliant road networks, you’ll certainly see a whole lot more than you would from a hotel base.

Belgium is also perfectly positioned for wider European adventures, making it easy to continue your journey into France, Germany, Luxembourg or the Netherlands.

Where to Go on a Belgium Campervan Road Trip

One of the biggest advantages of travelling through Belgium by campervan is that nothing ever feels too far away. You can enjoy breakfast in a bustling city, spend the afternoon exploring forests or coastlines, and park at a peaceful campsite for the evening. Despite its relatively small size, Belgium offers an impressive variety of landscapes, cultures and attractions. Here are some of the most popular for a Belgium campervan trip:

Bruges

Often described as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, Bruges is famous for its cobbled streets, medieval architecture and picturesque canals. Spend a day wandering the historic centre, enjoy Belgian waffles or chocolate, and take a canal cruise before continuing your journey.

Ghent

Less crowded than Bruges and just as charming, Ghent combines historic landmarks with a vibrant food and cultural scene. The city's riverside cafés, impressive castle and lively atmosphere make it a favourite stop amongst campervan travellers.

Brussels

Belgium's capital offers world-class museums, awe-inspiring architecture and the famous Grand Place. It's also the perfect place to sample authentic Belgian beer, chocolate and fries before heading out to explore the rest of the country.

The Ardennes

If you're looking for outdoor adventure, the Ardennes delivers. This beautiful region is packed with forests, rivers, walking trails and charming villages, making it ideal for hiking, cycling, kayaking or simply putting your feet up in front of your van to take in the nature.

Ypres and Flanders

History enthusiasts will appreciate the moving memorials and First World War battlefields around Ypres. The Menin Gate ceremony and surrounding museums offer an unforgettable insight into one of Europe's most significant historical landscapes.

The Belgian Coast

Stretching for around 65 kilometres, Belgium's coastline offers sandy beaches, fun seaside resorts and scenic cycling routes. Destinations along the North Sea Coast, such as Ostend, Knokke-Heist and De Haan, provide the perfect place to slow down before continuing your road trip.

The Grand Belgium Loop

Struggling with which spot to start with, or don’t want to miss anything important while driving the Belgian motorways? Well then, consider following the Grand Belgium Loop! This popular circular route takes in many of the country's highlights, including Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, the Belgian coast, Ypres and the forested Ardennes, before looping back to where you began. 

It's an ideal itinerary for first-time visitors, allowing you to experience all of Belgium’s best without spending long hours on the road. Most travellers complete the route in 7 to 10 days, though there's plenty to reward road trippers who choose to take things a little slower.

The Best Time to Visit Belgium by Campervan

Belgium is honestly a fantastic campervan destination, no matter the season. Here’s what to expect:

Spring brings colourful, picturesque gardens, comfortable temperatures and quieter roads, making it an ideal time for sightseeing and almost all manner of outdoor activities.

Summer is the busiest season, which is no surprise when considering the longer daylight hours, outdoor festivals and vibrant resorts along the coast. As such, we recommend booking your campervan and campsites well in advance, because it’ll be peak holiday time.

Autumn is a brilliant time to experience the beautiful woodland colours of the Ardennes. In this scenic season you’ll find fewer crowds and excellent opportunities to enjoy Belgium's famous food, beer and cosy cafés.

Winter transforms many Belgian cities into festive destinations, with Christmas markets, seasonal events and welcoming restaurants giving you a completely different road trip experience.

No matter when you choose to visit, Belgium's compact size and the compact campervans available mean you can really experience a huge and brilliant variety of landscapes, historic cities and cultural attractions without spending hours behind the wheel each day.

FAQs

Yes! Belgium's relatively small size, excellent roads and relatively short driving distances make it one of the easiest countries in Europe to explore in our rental vehicles. It's ideal for first-time renters who want to experience multiple destinations without spending hours behind the wheel each day.

Euromotorhomes and Anywhere Campers are two of the cheapest companies in Brussels to supply campervans, motorhomes and van conversions. They both charge around €1500.00 to collect and return your campervan or motorhome to Brussels - which is why the cheapest way to road trip across Belgium is to start your journey elsewhere.

Unfortunately, there are no other depots in Belgium that you can rent a campervan or motorhome from with Budgetcampervans.com. To avoid paying the location fees mentioned above, you can rent from any of the depots close to the Belgium border. Lille in France, for example, shares a border with Belgium.

There are two companies (Black Sheep Campers and Origin Campers) based in Lille that offer small sleeper cars, low-top campers and VW Transporter pop-top campers. Both of these companies can be booked using our booking engine. They offer free transfers from both the airport and the train station. If you are travelling from the UK, the Eurostar stops at Lille.

Always a good question - if your driving licence was issued in the UK, EU or another country that Belgium recognises, your standard licence will usually work just fine to hire and drive a campervan. Travellers from some non-European countries may also be asked to present an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with their valid licence. As requirements tend to vary a little, depending on your country of residence and the rental company, it's always worth checking before you travel to avoid any delays when collecting your campervan.

Yes, Belgium has a really great network of campsites, motorhome parks and designated overnight stopovers, making it easy to find somewhere to stay wherever your road trip takes you. You'll find everything from full-service holiday parks and family-friendly campsites to smaller rural sites and budget-friendly motorhome stopovers. While wild camping is generally not permitted, there are plenty of authorised places to park overnight throughout the country.

Most campsites these days in Belgium provide EHU pitches, so you can connect to mains electricity while you stay. Many larger campsites also offer water points, waste disposal facilities, showers, laundry rooms and Wi-Fi. There are even fully serviced pitches available at many locations. It's always worth checking the campsite facilities before you travel, particularly during the busy summer season.

There are no hidden charges.

Third-Party Insurance is standard on all campervans and motorhomes rented to tour Belgium, with cover up to 50 million Euros. Full comprehensive insurance with an excess of €600.00 is standard in Belgium. This excess must be covered by a credit card when you collect your campervan. This is the amount you will be liable for in the event of any damage occurring to the campervan or motorhome.

Rates do vary from rental company to rental company.

Most travellers spend between 7 and 10 days exploring Belgium by campervan. This gives you enough time to visit cities such as Brussels, Bruges and Ghent, relax along the Belgian coast and explore the forests and villages of the Ardennes without rushing.

Yes! Many travellers combine Belgium with France, Luxembourg, Germany or the Netherlands during the same trip. Always check your rental agreement before travelling internationally, as some rental companies have specific requirements or restrictions.
