Top tips for hiring a car in Eindhoven
- Eindhoven is a great city for driving a hire car, as it’s easy to navigate and local drivers are well-behaved and respectful. With a hire car, you can not only explore the city on your own schedule, but also head to other neighboring towns in the countryside, such as Eersel or other major cities in the Netherlands. Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Maastricht are all within driving distance.
- You can find most of the big car hire companies at Eindhoven Airport (EIN), such as Europcar and Avis. The hire car desks are located in the designated building on Luchthavenweg 13, which is easily reachable by turning left after exiting the main terminal. When you leave the airport in your hire car, the A2 motorway has connections to several major cities in the Netherlands.
- Driving around Eindhoven is pretty straightforward, due to the ring road circulating the city. If you’re driving in a Dutch city for the first time, be extra careful with cyclists and remember they’ll have the right of way in most cases. The city center can also be slightly confusing due to the mix of trams, pedestrians, bicycles, and cars, so use a GPS and always stay alert.
- As with many central European cities, Eindhoven observes quite a bit of traffic during rush hour, but it tends to be rather peaceful during the rest of the day – especially because many people ditch the car to ride their bikes. To skip the crowds, just avoid driving between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and then again between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
- Book your car hire in Eindhoven at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy car hire in Eindhoven are around 63% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
The drop-off was super easy, kind of odd that there's no need to actually give back the keys to a person just deposit in a box at the airport, but maybe, then later I receive the confirmation of the car return and the invoice.Cons:
Perhaps with the car assignment, as initially I got assigned one that I don't like it all because of the size of the car, and I asked for a sedan but wasn't available in the category that I rent, so I need to wait until the day of my reservation so they can confirm if a sedan will be available or not, but the personnel was always helpful and responsive.2,0 Poor

Cons:
When we arrived in Eindhoven we were advised by Budget that there was no insurance on the vehicle and we would have to cancel the Kayak hire and hire the vehicle directly from Budget. Which cost us twice as much. Very disappointing.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
We had a problem for paying with our card, so we ask abaut cancell the rent, if we will have our money back, because we already pay online. The woman said we have to talk with the plataform we use to renting, and may be they give our money back. What a surprise when we call and they said they should have to pay Alamo even we didn't take a car, and the stuff should told us...Cons:
To many things... the first one, let's the people pay with a debit card...2,0 Poor
