The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Charleroi are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Suzuki Jimny, Hyundai Tuscon, BMW X3, Toyota Rav4 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Belgium ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Belgium are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
The autobahn roads have another restriction - the concept of minimum speed, which is 70 km/h. There are also special restrictions for vehicles equipped with snow tires. The maximum allowed speed for them on the autobahn is 90 km/h, and on all other roads such cars cannot exceed the speed of 60 km/h.
All roads of the country are equipped with numerous cameras and radars, so there is absolutely no difficulty in detecting traffic violators. Quite often Belgian police patrol the streets using ordinary cars without any police markings.
In Belgium, the police have the right to charge fines right on the spot. If the driver, for whatever reason, cannot pay the fine on the spot, he will be given a bill that can be paid in any bank.
