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.

Pros:
The pick up and drop off processes were super fast and friendly. I am not used to driving European cars and they answered a few questions that I felt were...lets say "basic", without making me feel like an idiot. The man at the vehicle return was very nice as well and informed me where the nearest gas station was so that I could fill up and return quickly before my reservation expired and I would have to pay for the gas refill.8.0 Very good

Cons:
We picked up the rental and immediately noticed the poor condition of vehicle. I told attendant and they said there was nothing that could be done. When arriving to our hotel and the city areas we noticed it wasn't going into gear properly. The valet attendant at the hotel also mentioned to us that something was wrong. We notified the company immediately and after 4 hours of waiting for a mechanic to show we decided to go get our kids something to eat. When we got back the mechanic had come and took the car with our personal belongings. Car seat, stroller and baby carrier and bag well over $1,000 worth of things. I had to pay over $100 in cab fees and call the police to get my things back from the company. This was all on Christmas Day. No one tried to fix or make this up to us. They did not care at all. I ended up having to spend $700 more in a rental because that's all that was available with another company at short notice on Christmas. I don't understand how people can be so cold hearted and inconsiderate.Avis

The pick up agent is slow and unfair. She charged us for 2nd driver without our consent. Also, it took her over one hour to complete the process yet our pick up time started as soon as we talked.Cons:

Cons:
When I arrived, the car I booked wasn't available. The car they replaced it with was too small for our group, so we were stuck cramped in a tight space and having to shuttle back and forth for our whole trip. I asked for full insurance coverage and only received basic coverage. Now they say there is a small scratch on the bumper and have charged 850 euros to my credit card for the damage. This has been an absolute nightmare.4.0 Mediocre
