The most interesting perk
 in Belgium on the planet

Belgium's federal mobility budget might not be what you think it is. It's not about giving up your car or taking the bus to work everyday. It's about flexibility. Train, bike, car, teleworking or a mix? You decide.

The financial holy grail

Dylan is Client Partner at In the Pocket, living and working in Ghent. Having grown up with three brothers, Dylan says that cars have been omnipresent in his life. Today, Dylan cycles to work and spends his entire mobility budget on his mortgage. Instead of owning a car, he decided to just use one when he needs one.

"The mobility budget is almost like cash money. I've used it to pay even for train tickets for our ski holiday. But you can also use it to rent a car during your holidays for example.”

FAQs

Every question has an answer. Can't find the answer to your question? Let us know!

What are the government's objectives with the mobility budget for employees?

The main objectives of the mobility budget in Belgium are to reduce CO₂ emissions and decrease traffic congestion by giving employees the option to exchange their company car for a budget that they can flexibly spend on a wider range of sustainable transport solutions and/or housing costs. This promotes environmentally friendly mobility, increases flexibility for employees, and reduces dependence on company cars.

How can I request a mobility budget?

As an employee, you can currently request a mobility budget if your employer has implemented the mobility policy in their company AND if you would otherwise be entitled to a company car. Legislation is bound to change in 2026, where it would be mandatory for companies offering company cars to offer mobility budgets as well. Lots of companies are not waiting for this change to happen and have already implemented mobility budgets to retain or attract talent.

Can I force my employer to give me a mobility budget?

As of 2026, companies offering company cars will most probably be obliged to offer mobility budgets as well. Lots of companies have already implemented mobility budgets since 2019, so your company might not want to stay behind. Forwarding this page to your HR department is a good first step.
