KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Schiphol

  • If you love exploring new destinations, consider renting a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Schipol. With a rental car, you’ll be able to drive to easily drive to destinations situated on the outskirts of this airport. Leiden and Madurodam are some remarkable destinations you can easily drive to with a rental car. In Leiden, situated 18 miles (29 km) from Schipol, you can visit superb attractions like the National Museum of Antiquities, Hortus Botanicus Leiden, and Naturalis Biodiversity Center. In Madurodam, 27 miles (44 km) away from Schipol, you can visit attractions such as Indie and Indisch Monument, Westbroekpark, Waterkant, and Scheveningen Beach. If you’d like to drive to a destination closer to the two mentioned Dutch cities, you can check out Lisse. At this destination, 13 miles (21 km) away, you’ll visit sites such as Kasteel Keukenhof, Willem-Alexander paviljoen, and Huys Dever.
  • You can easily rent a car at Amsterdam Schipol Airport, provided you are over 18 and have the necessary documents. This is because this airport features locations for car rental agencies like Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and SIXT. These agencies are in Schipol Plaza, directly behind Arrivals 3. Given that the offices for these car rentals are situated in the airport’s terminal complex, you won’t need ground transportation.
  • Driving on the outskirts of Schipol is usually quite easy, given that the roads are wide and well tarmacked. On the contrary, driving within the city’s center is normally hectic. If you intend to drive in the city center, you should look out for bikers and pedestrians. When approaching intersections, treat them as a four-way stop and drive with caution. Additionally, you should be prepared to wait behind unloading. In Schipol, they are everywhere. You won’t have to wait longer than 5min.
  • Even though driving in the Schipol area is relatively easy, it has its own challenges, the largest being narrow roads. Because of being narrow, the roads can’t serve many cars at a time. As a result, during early morning hours, from about 7:00 am to 9:00 am, and late afternoon, from about 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, these roads usually have traffic jams. To dodge getting stuck in traffic, you should avoid the roads during the specified hours. Bikers are another challenge you’ll face when driving in Schipol. In Schipol and other cities in the Netherlands, bikers are everywhere. As they always have the right of way, you should always keep them in mind.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Schiphol for $33 or less
  • Book your rental car in Schiphol at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Schiphol 
Verified travelerSep 2024
The pickup was easy and went very smoothly.
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 travelerJun 2024
All went very well, also dropping off.
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.
DaniSep 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!
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.
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.

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.

There is a €1200 deposit needed for your rental. Why so much I have no idea. And they don't tell you when they return the deposit. I'm down €1200 until who knows when. Not fun if you're dependent on that for your vacation.

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…

The car that I got was smaller than what I had booked. I got a Renault Captur (mid-size) whereas I had booked a Toyota Camry (full-size). As a result it didn't fit all our luggage. Avis said the problem was with the booking agency which is repeatedly letting customers book larger vehicles that Avis doesn't even have while booking a smaller category with Avis.

Excellent car, great rate, easy pickup but very difficult to contact. We tried to contact them to extend the hire period. From 10 to 12 days. First 2x by phone, a wait of approx 18 min and another wait of 30 minutes, no answer. So we sent a message to the email address on the contract. After not receiving a response for 3 days we emailed again. This time we were copied when H/O forwarded this email to the branch. We have still not heard back a day after the original return date. Hoping it will all work out and they won’t gouge us on the price when we return the car tomorrow.

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.

The overall experience was good but I wanted to pick up the car couple of hours early but the agent at the terminal didn’t allow me to rent it before even when they had so many cars available. I would have appreciated a little flexibility with the rental time as what I have seen with other rental companies in the USA.

The damage reports are really ridiculous. Driving along and one of the many crazy truck throws a small stone and they charge you. That’s completely out of drivers control.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and the drop off was was also good

Cons:

The car was rubbish - I plugged my phone into the USB to use google maps and it continually crashed and kept reverting back to the existing nav system in the car. Then the USB went dead completely. The drivers window did not close properly and at speed made a noise. When closed it would open again and the same process repeat. I had requested a Golf but got instead a Ford focus...not ideal for German roads...I won't accept this again - I should have been more stern...
