Belgium to France is one of our most-requested corridors, linking Brussels and the port city of Antwerp with Paris, Lille and the whole of central France. A typical booking from our price table: a Renault Megane collected in Brussels and delivered to Lyon, 690 km and about 6h 30m behind the wheel if you drove it yourself. Book a spot on a multi-car transporter instead, hand over the keys, and meet the car at the other end without the long drive south.
We move cars on this route for families relocating south, owners heading to a second home in France, online buyers and dealers alike. It is part of our car transport service, and the return trip is covered by car transport from France to Belgium.
How much does car transport from Belgium to France cost?
A real example from our price table: moving a Renault Megane from Brussels to Lyon, a 690 km trip, costs 760 to 970 euros without VAT on an open transporter, the shared trailers dealers rely on every day. Enclosed transport for a prestige or classic car costs more, but keeps the vehicle sealed away from road grime.
Your price depends on distance, the size and weight of the car, whether it runs, the fuel and heavy French autoroute tolls on the leg, and how flexible your dates are, since a shared load costs less than a dedicated rush job. As both Belgium and France are in the EU, there are no customs duties or import paperwork to add to the bill. Request a free quote and you will have your exact price in minutes.
How long does car transport from Belgium to France take?
Most cars on this corridor are collected and delivered within two to four days. The E19 and A1 run south from Brussels through Lille towards Paris, and for Lyon the transporter picks up the A6, the Autoroute du Soleil, down past Beaune, about six and a half hours of driving all told. Shorter drops in Lille or Paris arrive sooner. If your car is continuing beyond Lyon towards the Alps or the Italian border, it links neatly with car transport from France to Italy.
Why book a transporter instead of driving?
The A6 south of Paris and around Lyon gets busy on summer weekends and holiday getaways, so we plan pickups to steer clear of the worst of the traffic.
Good to know
How does car transport from Belgium to France work?
You give us the pickup and delivery addresses and we match your car to a transporter already heading down the E19, A1 and A6 corridor. The driver inspects the car and records its condition at pickup, you both sign, and the same check is repeated on arrival in France so everything is documented. Nothing to pay before pickup.
Do I need to register the car in France?
As both countries are in the EU there are no customs duties on the move. If the car is staying in France you will need to register it to obtain a carte grise and French plates, along with local insurance, but for a short visit your Belgian plates are fine.
How should I prepare the car for pickup?
- Wash it and take dated photos from every side.
- Leave about a quarter tank of fuel.
- Remove personal belongings and any toll tag.
- Switch off the alarm and fold in the mirrors.
- Tell the driver about leaks, weak batteries or anything unusual.
Can you move a car that does not start?
Yes. Non-runners are welcome as long as they roll and steer, and we send trucks fitted with a winch to load them safely. If you have a larger vehicle to move as well, our van transport service covers vans and campers.
Is my car insured during the transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with holds cargo insurance that covers your vehicle for the whole journey, and the signed condition report protects both sides. Read more about how we vet our drivers on the why choose Send Your Auto page.
