There is no better way to see everything Gent has to offer than by getting behind the wheel of your Avis rental car. Don't waste time waiting for the bus or hailing taxis to go to the sights. Having your own ride allows you to go to the spots you want to see the most, when you want. Make your next getaway to Belgium even better with an Avis car rental.
With everything to do and see in and around Gent, you'll be wanting to explore more than just your hotel room while on your trip. Whether you are wishing to check out that latest chophouse across town or check out some of the local hot spots, you'll need your own car to explore as much as possible while on your vacation. No matter where you end up staying in Gent, if you want to get the most from your trip Belgium, having your vehicle is key.
We work with several of the best car rental businesses in the business. Avis was the first rental car company to be located in an airport and have over 70 years of providing vehicles to visitors from all over. With a diverse fleet of cars and over five-thousand locations globally, Avis is sure to give you a great experience from pick-up to drop-off.
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, whether you book. However, reserving your car well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.
Make sure to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.
Avis's minimum age to rent a car in Gent is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Take time to check Avis's policies to determine if there is an additional cost before you book.
That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Gent. Economy or compact vehicles are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Gent getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent in Belgium. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Avis does require a deposit when you book your rental. Avis will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip to Gent. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.
We advise a full to full policy. You receive the car with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Avis. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Gent definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.
Avis typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your vehicle at a different location. Be aware there is typically an additional charge when you choose one-way.
With so much to do and see in Gent, having access to an auto lets you explore at your own pace. When you are ready to see more of Belgium, you can leave when you like, without having to hanging out a stop waiting for the bus or wave down a taxi.
