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.
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.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Schiphol

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.

  • 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.

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.

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 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.

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.
