About Renting a Car at Zoetermeer Center

Zoetermeer is a modern planned town 10 km east of The Hague (15 minutes via N14) with 125,000 inhabitants and three car rental providers in the center. The town was built from the 1960s onward as an expansion area for The Hague and offers an efficient starting point for exploring southern Holland. Delft is 15 km southwest (20 minutes) and Leiden 25 km northwest (25 minutes) away.

Zoetermeer center is dominated by the Woonmall Alexandria shopping center and the modern Boerhaavelaan district. Zoetermeerse Plas, a large recreational lake 2 km north of the center, is popular for water sports in summer. The city parks Westerpark and Buytenpark offer green spaces directly adjacent to the center.

Drive to Madurodam in The Hague, just 12 km west – the world's most detailed miniature city is perfect for the whole family. Visit historic Delft with its porcelain industry and Vermeer heritage, 15 km south. Avoid the N14 toward The Hague during morning rush hour 07:30–09:00 – instead take the A12 via Gouda as an alternative route.
