Hiring a car in the Netherlands

Hiring a car in the Netherlands with DriveNow. As one of the most liberal countries in the world, the low-lying nation of the Netherlands is often a bucket list destination for visitors both young and old. Situated between Germany and Belgium, with the North Sea to the northwest, the Netherlands is in an ideal position for a European adventure with a difference.

Of course, the capital of the Netherlands - Amsterdam - showcases the Dutch way of life perfectly. From the elaborate canal system that snakes around the 17th century architecture and infrastructure to the famed red-light district and countless food and beverage restaurants, the city of Amsterdam is a window into the country's past, present and future.

Outside of this main destination, the Netherlands' flat landscapes with spectacular tulip fields and windmills are simply straight out of a postcard. With high quality roads connecting all major Dutch cities including The Hague, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Groningen, there is no better way to explore this fascinating country than with a rental car.

Common Questions:

How old do I have to be to rent a car in the Netherlands? To hire a car in the Netherlands, you must be at least 19 years old and have held your full license for 12 months.

What's it like to drive in the Netherlands? Like many European cities, traffic in the Netherlands can be heavy, especially during peak times. However, as soon as you escape the main centres, driving along the countless highways is simple.

In contrast to their European neighbours, there are no toll roads - perfect for those driving considerably around the country.

Car hire payment? You must pay for your Dutch car hire with a valid card. Have your credit card ready when you pick up your vehicle.

Excess insurance options? Taking out travel insurance that covers car hire damage is often an affordable way to make sure you don't get hit with fees in the case of an accident. You might also opt to take out a Collision Damage Waiver, though this tends to be a bit more expensive.
