Car hire at Eindhoven Airport

The rental car center at Eindhoven Airport is a short walk from the arrivals hall. When you exit the terminal after your flight, walk straight ahead for 150 feet. You will see a building with a sign on top that says Car Rental / Autoverhuur, as well as the brands that are located inside. If you are working with a smaller company, you will most likely have to take a shuttle to the car lot. These shuttles are located in various spots, including near the taxi waiting zone or the parking lot.

Rental companies that are located in the rental car center at Eindhoven Airport are the easiest to use, as they don’t require waiting for a shuttle to pick-up or return your car. Renting with larger, international brands, including Enterprise, Avis, Hertz and Europcar are some of the easiest options, as they are in a convenient location for returns, and often offer after-hours returns or no-contact pick-up and drop off to minimize wait times.

Most companies require drivers to provide their driver’s license, passport, and a major credit or debit card. Depending on the rental car company, if your license was not issued in a European country, you may also be asked to provide an International Driver’s Permit. This must be obtained before leaving your home country, so make sure to check with your preferred company to see if it is required. Drivers also need to be at least 21 years old, but will be charged a young driver surcharge until the age of 24.
