Transport
Trains are expensive, but there's a good deal to be had. For 76 euros you can get a Rail Pass, which gives you 10 rides from any train station to any other train station in Belgium. You can share this ticket with several people. You can also use this ticket for your traject inside Belgium when traveling abroad but you need to write down the last station before the border (even if your train does not stop there), which means you'll have to buy a ticket from that last station to your destination station abroad. For example, when going from Brussels to Amsterdam (and not taking the Thalys) you can buy a ticket from Essen (B) to Amsterdam and write down "Brussel" and "Essen" on your Rail Pass.
Hitchhiking is quite doable. Check Hitchwiki.
European Carpooling (Taxi Stop - Eurostop)
Taxi Stop is an agency that offers carpooling possibilities to drivers in destination or from European countries as well as passengers looking for a destination. The website is available in English (as opposed to its German equivalent) but requires to create a free subscription account in matter to contact a driver or a passenger. Although the availability and destination listing does not require to log in. This service is called eurostop and has a set rule regarding the fees which is pretty simple: registration to the service is free of charge, a passenger is simply asked to pay 3€/100km to the driver once at destination. The concept of carpooling is so popular that people might come to you when you hitchhike and offer you a lift. Always clearly say in the beginning that you don't want to pay (assuming you don't) so that there are no misunderstandings.
