Yes, Uber is fully allowed and operational in Brussels, though its history in the city was marked by years of legal battles with the local taxi industry. As of 2026, Uber operates under a regulated framework that was established by the Brussels Parliament to level the playing field between ride-hailing apps and traditional taxis. All Uber drivers in Brussels must now hold a specific professional license (the "LVC" license) and follow strict insurance and background check requirements, similar to those for taxi drivers. This has resulted in a more stable service, though prices are generally comparable to or only slightly lower than traditional taxis because the "flat-rate" predatory pricing of the early days has been curtailed by regulation. You can use the Uber app to book various services, including UberX, Green (electric vehicles), and even "Taxi" which allows you to hail a traditional licensed cab through the Uber interface. For travelers, Uber remains a highly convenient and safe option for getting to and from the Grand Place or the European Quarter, especially since Brussels’ central districts have become increasingly pedestrian-friendly with limited car access.
