Location information for Hasselt

Introduction

Hasselt is the capital of the Belgian province of Limburg. The city centre, although not big, is very cosy. In 2004, it was declared the 'cosiest city of Flanders'. The city is extremely active in inventing and implementing plans, for instance the thorough makeover of its centre. Part of that centre is now car free, and traffic is restricted in other areas. Hasselt is the gin capital of Belgium. The Borrelmanneke' and the National Gin Museam symbolise that status. In addition, the city houses the largest Japanese garden in Europe.

Population

Since the end of 2005, Hasselt has 70,000 inhabitants. The number is growing steadily. The local dialect is known as Hessels and it is different from Flemish. Many street signs are posted in Flemish as well as Hessels.

Location

The city is located in the north-east of Belgium, more or less in the centre of triangle Brussels-Antwerp-Maastricht. Of those three cities, Maastricht is closest to Hasselt: 35 kilometres. The city is situated on the Albertkanaal and river Demer.

Economy

Hasselt is an important economic centre in Belgium. It is situated in the heart of the so-called Euregion Rhine and Meuse, a cooperation between the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. It is Flanders' third trade city. It's growth was due in part to a large Philips plant, but that was closed in 2003. The city now focuses on the service sector and knowledge. The young University of Hasselt plays an important role in that respect. The city is a forerunner when it comes to the application of modern technology. In the 'I-City' project, 4000 volunteers test wireless ICT applications.
Hasselt is known as a shopping town par excellence. The city council is very active in promoting the extensive network of shops.

Hasselt is located at about an hour's drive from the national airport Zaventem, near Brussels. Maastricht-Aachen Airportis located more closely, with connections to Amsterdam, Berlin and Bucharest. In addition, there are flights operated by budget airlines to popular holiday destinations. Holiday flights also depart from the Liege Airport, to the south-west of Liege.
Small airplanes can land in Hasselt itself, at Kiewit airport.

Public transport

The city bus network in Hasselt is free! The experiment with free transport began in 1997 and was so successful that it was implemented definitely. All buses depart from the square in front of the train station. A special City shuttle bus (CP Centrum Pendel) departs every 10 minutes for the Grote Markt. Regional buses also arrive at the station square.

On the Groenplein behind the town hall you can also borrow various kinds of bicycles from the city guards (Mon-Fri 9 am - 6 pm - Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm). This service is also free.

There is also a special zone for campers. Parking in the street is paid (Monday to Sunday from 9 am to 7 pm). In the centre there are also several indoor car parks.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Rental the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
