As a driver you are required to take out personal liability insurance, but do not need to insure the car. Third party liability is the minimum legal requirement, but fully comprehensive cover is recommended. Insurance companies issue a Green Card and an accident report form, which should be kept in the car at all times. In the event of any accident, you should complete and sign the form.
Belgium has an excellent public transport system and its cities have fully networked train, tram metro and bus services, making connections very easy. It is possible to buy single tickets or season tickets which cover travel on all forms of city transport.
There are efficient rail services connecting all parts of the country, and train fares are relatively low, especially if you buy in advance online.
Taxis are widely available in the cities, but you have to hire them at designated ranks or call them by telephone, it is not usual practice to hail one on the street. All taxis are metered and operate according to standard tariffs.
