Amsterdam City Car Hire

With seven rental companies in Amsterdam center, you have the Netherlands' broadest selection of car rental options right in the heart of the city. Choose everything from compact city cars to spacious family vehicles for excursions along the tulip fields in Lisse, 35 km to the south. The Hague is reached in about 60 km (50 minutes) via the A4.

Amsterdam center covers the famous canal districts of Jordaan, De Pijp, and Grachtengordel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The rental companies are spread around the inner city, with concentration around Leidseplein and Museumplein, about 2 km from Central Station. Book an electric car to avoid worries about Amsterdam's expanded low-traffic zone, which takes effect from 2025.
