Renting a car in Belgium!

Renting a car in Belgium was super simple and inexpensive. I think we'll be renting cars for travel more often!

    Brussels has two airports: 1/ Brussels Airport in Zaventem (regular), about 15 minutes drive from Brussels, direct train connections to Brussels, Antwerp, ... 2/ Brussels South Airport in Charleroi (low cost), about 1 hour drive from Brussels, no train station (only bus)

    You would have internet using your polish Plus prepaid card if you would turn on roaming option :) It EU there is no charge for roaming so you can use sim card from one country and use it for internet in all of European Union (costs of use are the same like in country you bought the sim card - you're using polish sim card and paying in Belgium for internet in polish prices, not belgian).

    The Brussels airport is right next to Brussels. But you're not flying to Brussels airport, you're flying to Charleroi, an hour south of Brussels. They call themselves Brussels-South for marketing purposes, even though they're closer to France than to Brussels. It's a Ryanair thing.
