Arriving at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) in 2026? While Amsterdam itself is a city of canals and bikes, a hire car is your key to discovering the rest of the Netherlands. Explore the tulip fields of Keukenhof, the windmills at Zaanse Schans, or the modern architecture of Rotterdam. Ashdub Cars compares all major providers to find the best vehicle for your trip. Our platform makes it easy for leisure and corporate clients to find a great deal before finalising the booking with the rental partner. Driving in central Amsterdam is not recommended due to narrow streets, trams, and countless cyclists. It is best to park your car at a Park and Ride (P+R) on the city's edge and use public transport to explore the centre.

Good questions
Should I drive into central Amsterdam?
It is strongly discouraged. The historic centre is very difficult to navigate by car, parking is extremely expensive, and the risk of accidents with cyclists and trams is high. Use a Park and Ride (P+R) facility instead.
What is the 'priority to the right' rule?
At intersections without signs, traffic coming from your right has priority. This is a crucial rule in urban areas. However, trams always have priority.
Can I take my hire car to Belgium or Germany?
Yes, most rental companies allow cross-border travel to neighbouring countries. Always inform the provider at the time of booking as extra fees or insurance may be required.
