It took us 7 mins to get a ride to Brussels. We held a sign. It's the road just before the entrance to the highway towards Brussels/Antwerp centre. We were two girls at 9pm and got a very nice man take us.―Viltorina

Lots of Dutch number plates on a Sunday evening. We took a ride to Antwerp because we hadn't had dinner yet.―Bob

Our driver went around the block to pick us up after seeing us last-moment. Lots of traffic, but drivers are already going kinda fast when they pass the gas station. There was also someone stopping at the gas station every 5 minutes, they couldn't take us unfortunately.―Bob

Fairly good spot but not so good for the car to stop. People had great smiles and were indicating that they were locals and not going to the gas station at Leuven…..a man took us later in the evening to the next big gas station on the E40 highway…….otherwise we (me, my girlfriend and our dog) could stand there hours and hours with so many good smiles and reactions from people!―NTKtriohitch

I needed to go just to the Brussels city centre and was able to find a ride almost immediately, even though it was already dark.―martih

I got lucky. The first car driving by took me and got me near Brussels. This spot looked promising, was large, and had slow cars for hitchhiking west. But maybe I was just lucky.―martih

A lot of cars coming through. There is a spot where all the cars have to pass through so i suggest standing there. Got a lift to Liege quick.―stepanfoj

Very good spot, there is space to stop and the cars are going a reasonable speed. I did get stopped by the police while i was walking to the spot. In the end they did tell me it is okay to hitchhike there, so no problems.―stepanfoj

A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. I would say this spot is good even though people globally ignored us completely. A nice Polish guy helped us to get to Brussel while we were moving to test the best thumb spots.―JumpingRabbit

Good spot, we just stood by the side of the road outside of the gas station. There was a traffic jam, so it was easier. Plenty of space for small cars to stop. We got ride in 5 minutes directly to Gent.―verdederos

Fantastic spot to get to Belgium but be careful when walked from the Capellen station, there was a fence and closed gate. It was not an easy climb.―verdederos
