Top tips for renting a car at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Imagine yourself cruising down the road to Winkelcentrum Vier Meren (Viermeren Shopping Center) with a gentle wind blowing in your hair. It's a breath-taking experience that you can barely enjoy when you board a taxi or a Connexxion Shuttle, or a GVB tram and metro. Why not get a car rental at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport? The freedom, convenience, and the opportunity to choose a car that matches your needs and taste that Amsterdam Schiphol Airport rental companies offer are the primary reasons you might want to rent one.
When your stay in Amsterdam is over, and you need to catch your departure flight, returning the car to your Amsterdam Schiphol Airport car rental has never been easy. That's because you return the vehicle to the exact location you picked it at the flight hub. Use the A4 freeway to Schiphol airport, and when you enter the airport, you'll easily see the "Car Rental Return" signs that lead to the car rental parking lot. Remember to refill the tank on your way, as it will save you extra fuel costs.
It's critical to have a knack for cutting your rental costs, and here's one trick: A car rental at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport will always sell you their car insurance, which should cover any damages if you're involved in an accident. On-airport rental operators usually include a "premium service charge", which is an extra fee that applies to car rentals with locations at flight hubs. If you add tax fees and other costs, the quoted amount shoots up slightly. However, by purchasing your rental agent's insurance, you reduce your liability to zero.
You'll have a good time driving in Amsterdam, but know that rush hour may make your driving challenging due to increased traffic. That's especially the case on A2 road near Schiphol Airport. If you're returning your rental vehicle to catch a flight, it would be best to plan the trip earlier when the traffic on A2 is moving fast. Additionally, drivers must always yield the right of way to traffic advancing from the right. Adhering to that will keep you out of trouble, most so when you're at an intersection or roundabout.

FAQs about renting a car at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Where can I find car rentals operators at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport?
Like in most international airline hubs, you'll find vehicle rental agencies near the baggage claims area. All the major rental agencies have representatives at the Car Rental Center in the main arrival foyer, situated inside Schiphol Plaza. Once you disembark from your plane, follow the "Car Rental" signs that lead to the plaza.

The staff at Schiphol were awful! They were misinformed about what cards they can accept and when this was pointed out to them, they became rude and aggressive. When we asked for the name of the person serving us, he said he was not obliged.

I have ask to pay in USD, they sale yes but processed in Euros. Warning message on the car screen. No one check before No information about the car. At return I asked a document to prove “good reception” they said you will receive an email within 10 minutes. But not
6.0 Okay
Gal, Oct 2022
All was pretty good besides the amount of money needed to pay for Insurance. I paid 65% of the renting cost for Insurance so the whole deal was very expensive
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.

The checkin line at the airport was 35 minutes. Way too long. My reserved car was not available. I ordered an SUV and they only gave me a Skoda Skála sedan. With the long wait I was at their mercy to even get a car and when I brought it to their attention they said that it was the class I ordered which was absolutely incorrect. I would appreciate a refund. Hertz is a top name company and as s customer I deserve a voice.

We were running a little later than expected due to flight delays but it put us across the return time, for which they initially charged us an extra day at a much higher rate. Fortunately Mo at Schiphol airport was able to take care of us.

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…
