First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental needs to be made from France to Canada. Many questions, and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support to guide me in my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and a service that met our expectations. Nothing to complain about. Great!

Traveling in a camper van or van in Belgium: climate and seasonality
Belgium, with its varied landscapes between the coast, historic cities, and the Ardennes, offers an ideal experience for a camper van or van trip, where the weather and season greatly influence comfort and prices.
When to go camping in Belgium?
The best time to explore Belgium in a camper van is from spring to early autumn, particularly between May and September. During these months, temperatures are mild, around 23 °C in summer, and nature, especially in the Wallonia region, is adorned with attractive colors. Spring is particularly pleasant with the blooming cherry trees, while autumn offers a peaceful and colorful atmosphere, perfect for forest walks in the Ardennes. However, one must remain vigilant for sudden showers, which are frequent even in summer, especially around cities like Namur or Brussels.
Weather and climate in Belgium
Belgium enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, influenced by the Atlantic and the Gulf Stream, resulting in regular humidity and about 200 rainy days per year. Summers can sometimes experience exceptional heat spikes, exceeding 35 °C, particularly in the Flemish plains, while winters can be cold with frequent frosts, especially in higher regions like the Hautes Fagnes. This climatic variability makes each season unique for a camper van stay.
Seasonality of prices and practical tips
Camping prices vary according to the season and region. For example, in Bruges, the Memling campsite offers prices between 25 and 32 € per night in high season, while campsites like the one in Florenville in Gaume offer softer rates in May, June, September, and October, which are less busy and quieter periods. The CampingCard ACSI also allows for off-season discounts throughout Belgium, making for an economical trip. In winter, although less frequented, southern Belgium remains accessible for active camping enthusiasts, especially for winter sports in the Ardennes.
Practical tips for your trip
Belgium, with its varied landscapes and historic cities like Brussels, Antwerp, or Ghent, is an ideal destination for a camper van or van trip. To fully enjoy your stay, it is essential to know the local regulations, parking possibilities, and specific safety tips for the country.
Driving and regulations
In Belgium, camper vans must adhere to the same speed limits as cars: 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h outside urban areas in Wallonia, 70 km/h in Flanders, and 120 km/h on highways, provided the vehicle does not exceed 3.5 tons. A standard driving license is sufficient to drive a camper van up to this weight. Approved seats in the vehicle must be equipped with seat belts, especially for motorhomes registered after 2003. It is prohibited to move inside the vehicle when it is in motion. Additionally, camper vans must be equipped with a fire extinguisher, a reflective vest, and a warning triangle. Finally, be aware of low emission zones (LEZ) in the cities of Brussels, Ghent, and Antwerp, where vehicle registration and sometimes the purchase of a pass are mandatory to circulate.
Sleeping and connecting
Wild camping is prohibited in Belgium, but there are many camper van areas and adapted campsites, especially around the Belgian coast in Ostend or in the Ardennes region. In Brussels, parking for camper vans is allowed on public roads unless otherwise indicated, but limited to 24 hours. Some Flemish cities like Antwerp require overnight stays only in designated spots. To connect to electricity, campsites and specialized areas offer suitable facilities. It is advisable to remain discreet and not create large gatherings of vehicles to avoid penalties.
Local tips and safety
In Belgium, road safety is taken seriously: alcohol checks are strict with heavy fines and possible license suspensions, especially in Brussels. It is recommended to adhere to local rules, particularly regarding parking and traffic in urban areas. In case of emergency, the number to call is 112. To avoid fines, ensure your camper van is properly registered, especially if you are driving in Brussels where a vignette is mandatory. Finally, prefer official areas and campsites for overnight stays, especially in tourist regions like Wallonia or Flanders, where authorities are vigilant about rule compliance.

Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
Easy communication, in French
They have always responded quickly to all my requests and their website is very functional!
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.
Diversity of offerings, clear presentation of the site, available options. No surprises on the price; you know what you're paying for. I recommend it and will probably use it again for other camper van trips.
Responsiveness to emails and requests is excellent.
