Car Rental in Amsterdam - Affordable Deals in the Netherlands
A picture-perfect wonderland of gabled houses and tree-lined canals, Amsterdam boasts a rich abundance of world-class cultural attractions, chief amongst them the Rijksmuseum (home to Rembrandt's The Night Watch), the House of Anne Frank and the stunning Van Gogh Museum whose star attraction is Sunflowers. Much of Amsterdam's tourist activity revolves around Dam Square where some of the city's other top sights can be found, namely the Royal Palace and Madame Tussauds. Furthermore, the city is easily accessible thanks to its modern airport, Schiphol, located just a half-hour drive south-west of the center. A car rental in Amsterdam therefore opens up a world of options and opportunities for visitors to not only enjoy the best of the Dutch capital in total comfort and at their own pace but explore and admire the city's environs and the Netherlands as a whole.
Much of its fertile, flower-emblazoned landscape bursts into color in spring and summer and is easily accessible with a car rental from Amsterdam. Likewise, the country's long stretch of sandy coastline is another good reason to rent a car and embark on an exhilarating road-trip with close friends and family members at any time of the year. There are so many interesting places to visit in a relatively compact area, including The Hague (known locally as Den Haag) and Maastricht, an enchanting city conveniently located on the Belgian and German borders. And for the best of the Netherlands in terms of idyllic landscapes, why not take a leisurely drive through Hoge Veluwe National Park, a haven of peace and tranquility in the heart of the country.

FAQs about car rental in Amsterdam
Renting a car differs from using your own, so we recommend checking out our concise and straightforward FAQs. They cover essential information on car insurance options, pick-up processes, and important details about driving and exploring Amsterdam, as well as the Netherlands as a whole.
How old do I need to be to rent a car in Amsterdam?
The legal driving age in Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands is 18 years of age. Please note that Full-size, Premium, and Luxury car classes are accessible exclusively to renters over 25. Young drivers with a limited amount of experience will be obliged to pay a daily young driver's fee which varies according to which supplier you select. If you need more assistance or want to find out more about age requirements when renting through the Auto Europe site.
Can I rent a car without a credit card in Amsterdam?
Very few vehicle suppliers will rent you a car in Amsterdam without a credit card, although it is the supplier who makes this decision not Auto Europe. Some international car providers might be prepared to offer a car rental with a debit card if the card-holder can prove that they have enough cash on the card to cover the deductible. Most car hire firms require a credit card in order to cover the security deposit, which is promptly returned once the vehicle has been returned undamaged. Just key in your pick-up and drop-off locations into the booking engine above to obtain an affordable quote on a vehicle rental in Amsterdam and elsewhere in the Netherlands.
What car rental insurance is included in Amsterdam?
When you rent a car in Amsterdam through the Auto Europe website, you'll find that all of our inclusive packages come with the mandatory amount of insurance required under Italian law, including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), third-party liability, and theft protection (TP). With that said, it's important to take into account the fact that both the CDW and TP have a deductible, which is the amount the driver must cover in the event of damage or theft of the vehicle, the amount of which varies by country and by supplier to quite a substantial amount in some cases. Please follow the link if you have any questions regarding car rental coverage options in Amsterdam and all other places in the Netherlands.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in in Amsterdam?
Yes. All American drivers must obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive or rent a vehicle in Amsterdam. You can request an IDP at a local AAA office or conveniently order one online.
Can I drive a rental car inside the LEZ-Zone in Amsterdam?
Yes. Generally speaking, you can drive your car rental in Amsterdam through the city's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) if the vehicle meets the minimum emissions standards. If it's a diesel car, it will need to meet Euro 5 or a higher standard in order to enter the zone, while cars running on regular gas are generally allowed without many restrictions. Amsterdam's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is similar to a ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato) in Italian cities, for instance, which regulate access based on vehicle emissions, primarily affecting diesel vehicles. The LEZ in Amsterdam primarily covers the area within the A10 ring road and is enforced using camera systems that read license plates.
