It's best to get a small run around, this is easiest with the traffic and small roads etc. Take a few minutes to setup the car and understand the drivers aids and guidance.

Verified travelerSept 2025

Use your credit card to reserve the car and make sure your credit card has the benefits that provide car insurance overseas. Very expensive to get the rental car company’s insurance.

NazaninNov 2024

Be there a bit earlier because airport is crowded. And you need to bring your driver license cart as well not just the international one! you need both

Verified travelerOct 2024

It’s better to ask about the language of the costumer to change the settings of the car accordingly.

RichardJun 2024

Dacia Jogger was a marvellous car. Make sure you include a GPS in your order and that will pave the way to easily go everywhere in Europe without any problems. There are lots of places to visit in Europe.

Verified travelerAug 2024

Make yourself familiar with the Airport because it is a long walk for people that have health issues. Car rental is all the way at the back and you have to go with the elevator or the roller band Make yourself familiar with the traffic rules, and speed limits in the Netherlands, because on the Highways speed limits vary a lot!

Verified travelerMay 2024

When returning the car, it's a little tricky finding the parking garage. Stay to the left.

DaniSept 2023

especiialy in high-season, bring your own / pre-order kids car seat since there were not any left when we were there

ClaireJun 2023

Car rental companies should give drivers new to the country a description of the road signs and rules. This would prevent any confusion while driving. They won’t do it but I think it’s important!

Verified travelerAug 2023

It was very easy with the navigation system in the car. Only advice is to read a bit about driving in The Netherlands to be aware of some of the rules ☺️

OlegAug 2023

The return is at the same place as the pickup. There are clear signs at the airport to the location

Verified travelerJun 2023

The roads are good and smooth. The initial challenge is driving with such a large number of bicycles on the road in the Netherlands. They seem to have the right of way in all circumstances.

Verified travelerAug 2023

Plan 1.5 hrs to get your car.

MaureenMay 2023

That is something that could be helpful to give traveller's from out of the country - a short one page tip sheet. Such as no right turn on a red signal - which is allowed in Canada. A reminder about cyclists in round abouts, about traffic cameras on the highway, etc..

MichaelMay 2023

There are many rules and traffic signs when driving in the Netherlands, do some research before you go and make sure you understand the right of way rules and yield to bikes. Watch out for e-bikes too, they’re fast and quiet.

ShogoMay 2023

Airport roads can be confusing and Schiphol is not an exception in this regard. It may help to research the roads in advance, on Google Street View for example.

MichaelMay 2023

If you’re from North America learn the road signs before you go and the right of way rules.

A car hire in Schiphol gives you a great amount of flexibility and freedom for your onwards journey. Rather than having to abide by the train and bus timetables, you can come and go as you please, as well as travel directly to more locations. For instance, you can drive to Enhuizen in approximately 45min, which is a journey that takes about 1h 30min with public transport and also requires a change in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is one of the largest airports in Europe and is only a short journey from Schiphol. It offers a wide array of car hire agencies for you to choose from, making it a great place to collect your vehicle from. For example, you can find agencies such as Europcar in the arrivals terminal, whereas companies such as Keddy are only a short shuttle ride away. You will need to show your Schiphol car hire provider proof of identification and a valid payment method, as well as complete the required documents, before you can get the keys to your vehicle.
Using car hire in Schiphol, you will see that it is a popular neighbourhood of Amsterdam that attracts many locals and tourists. Jaywalking is not illegal in the Netherlands, so you should drive with caution, as many people will cross the road in places that are not designated crossing points for pedestrians. Cycling is also hugely popular in the Netherlands and, even though there are cycle paths aplenty, there are occasions when bikes share the roads with cars. For this reason, you should regularly check your mirrors to ensure you’re aware of your surrounding environment.
When driving a Schiphol hire car, you’ll find the roads are very busy due to the neighbourhood's proximity to Amsterdam and the airport. During rush hour, the roads get even more busy, with many locals commuting to and from work. Rush hours tend to be from 7:00 to 9:00 and also from 17:30 to 18:30. If possible, try to avoid driving at these times. The A4 gets particularly busy as it connects Schiphol to Amsterdam. Loevesteinse Randweg is an alternative road that you can try, which should be less congested.

Before leaving home I got an email to check in for the car rental. After checking in I was to proceed to the rental and did not need to go to the desk at the airport. So I walked to the parking pick up desk. When I got there the guy told me I had to go to the desk at the airport to check in. But, because it was not very busy there the guy did fill it all in for me, so that was very nice. He did not know about the email that I got the day before about checking in from home. I thought that was strange…

I lived the ease of scheduling with Kayak. I hated dealing with the desk at Schipol. They were rude, dismissive, and intrusive. They didn't accept either of my Visa or Mastercard (Revolut, Wise, Discover). And they asked to see my wallet to see if any of my other cards could be used. They were argumentative and dismissed me without being solution oriented or empathetic. I was told that I should have read the fine print which was buried deep and difficult to pull up.

I would like to see larger cars with more room for luggage. That’s the only concern. But, one of your professional employees made a pertinent point with respect to the small roads in Europe in general and also about the potential taxes on the vehicles that are imposed by various governments in the EU. All in all, I had no issues with the car.
