Really good stop. A lot of people who go to Antwerp, even late in the day. Took me 30s to find someone.―Anonymous

Heading to Belgium. Arrived here at 13.30 on a Friday, left at 8.45 the next morning. Spent the first 3 hours thumbing at the exit on the side of the road, then started doing laps of the car park and asking people. No luck, no-one even going towards Europe. More European plates earlier in the afternoon but by early evening it was mostly UK cars. Lots of Polish vans and European trucks but none of them seemed at all willing. Had about 6-7 offers of lifts to Ashford/Folkestone/Dover, but held out for the channel crossing. Lost hope by 7pm, so put up my tent in the woods before it got too dark. Started again at 6.45 the next morning. On my 3rd lap of the car park I found a German couple who took me all the way to my destination in Belgium! My sense is that asking people directly is much more likely to pay out with a lift over the channel, but thumbing by the exit can get you to Dover pretty quickly.―Wienerpolser

Two guys heading to Belgium, had a sign saying Nürnberg / Frankfurt. Took a while, tried standing by the exit and asking people as they arrived. Eventually found a Belgien car driving to Ghent, the guy let us stay in his cousin's apartment overnight then took us the rest of the way the next morning.―Wienerpolser

Very quickly made my way from Wageningen to Leuven. I got a straight ride with a Belgian couple to Leuven as they were heading to Charleroi.―anettlee17

Best spot to hitch to Brussels, plenty of space for a car to pull over.―Anonymous

Good spot to either hitch to Tienen or to the jonction with the N25 (at the Carrefour) that will lead to the E40. You might have to walk a bit to find a good spot where a car can pull over as this area is a side road parking―Anonymous

You can hitch a ride East - West with a sign along the E40, you can also simply walk all the way down to the E40 and hitch from the On-Ramp.―Anonymous
