Car rental in Ghent
Since the 2017 circulation plan, Ghent's centre is split into sectors you cannot drive between: crossing town from one district to the next means looping around the ring road, and a low-emission zone covers the historic core. So plenty of Ghent residents live car-free and only borrow one for a weekend at the coast or a load from the builders' merchant — renting from a neighbour in Ledeberg or the Patershol saves the detour to a rental counter.
