Frequently asked questions about renting a car in the Netherlands
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in The Netherlands?
Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at The Netherlands, but many others accept a debit card! However, it must always be physical and in the name of the main driver. Check the terms and conditions of each offer before renting your car at The Netherlands, to make sure.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the supplier, the location, the dates, when you make the booking and how far in advance, and ultimately on the prices set by the suppliers compared to those set by Pepecar for each occasion.

The car offer is good and so are the prices. What I didn't like is that it seems that the car pick up is inside the station and when you have already hired it they tell you that you have to pick it up outside in a nearby street.

Where to rent a car in The Netherlands.
Knowing where to rent a car in the Netherlands is key to planning an efficient tour, especially if you plan to visit several regions or cross borders into Belgium or Germany. Choosing the right pick-up point allows you to optimise your journeys and save on travel time.
The main cities where options are available are:
- Amsterdam: car rental in Amsterdam is one of the most common options to start your trip. You can also pick up the vehicle directly at Schiphol airport and start the route as soon as you land.
- Rotterdam: renting a car in Rotterdam allows you to discover one of the most modern cities in the country and to organise trips to other regions. Its airport makes it easy to start your journey in complete autonomy.
- Eindhoven: located in the south, car hire in Eindhoven is ideal if you plan to explore less touristy areas or connect with other cities in the Benelux. In addition, its major airport can be a good choice to start your trip in a rental car.
- Maastricht: In the far south, car rental in Maastricht allows you to combine the Netherlands with routes to Belgium or Germany. Picking up the car at the airport is a convenient way to start your journey.
Thanks to the relatively short distances between cities, it is possible to design circular routes combining Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Maastricht, making the most of each stage of the journey.
Pepecar offers you all these possibilities to book your car hire in the Netherlands, always at the best price and with the clearest conditions on the market. So that all you have to worry about is enjoying your trip.
What is it like to drive a rental car in the Netherlands?
When driving your rental car in the Netherlands, keep in mind that you drive on the right and the road network is in excellent condition. The motorways are wide, well signposted and efficiently connect the country's major cities.
Important things to consider:
- A large presence of cycle lanes, especially in Amsterdam and other cities.
- Strictly enforced speed limits
- Regulated and sometimes limited parking in city centres.
- Modern and well-maintained infrastructure
Driving is convenient and easy, especially outside busy city centres. Car rental in the Netherlands allows you to explore rural areas, small towns and regions less accessible by public transport, offering greater flexibility throughout your journey.
