Leisure vehicle driver vacancies in Belgium

A leisure vehicle driver transports passengers in a leisure vehicle such as a tourist train, horse tram or cycle taxi. You plan the routes, check the vehicle, welcome passengers and check their tickets. You take payments, bring travellers safely to their destination, look after their comfort and complete the on-board documents while following the traffic rules.

Indicative Belgian pay range: €16–€23 gross per hour. Seasonal work, weekend shifts and tips in tourist settings can lift your total earnings. Employee pay estimate; actual pay depends on experience, sector pay scales and working hours. Premiums, overtime and benefits are separate.

You need a valid driving licence suited to the vehicle you operate, and for some vehicles a specific permit or authorisation applies. For passenger transport, professional aptitude and a medical fitness check may be required. Customer-facing skills and a clean driving record count for a lot in this tourism-focused role.

Yes, you can often start with limited experience once you hold the right licence and a friendly, responsible attitude. Employers usually provide on-the-job training for the specific vehicle, the route and the ticketing. What matters most is safe driving and good contact with passengers, which you build up quickly on the job.

With experience you can move into wider tourism and hospitality roles, working alongside colleagues such as room attendant, cook or kitchen assistant in leisure and tourist venues. Some drivers specialise in guided tours and tourist information, while others take on planning or supervising a fleet. Broadening into event or excursion coordination is a natural next step.
