Because Amsterdam is full of several public transport routes and features many narrow streets, it’s wise to rent a smaller car. The most popular car to rent is an economy one, as it’s the perfect size for parking and is the most economical choice in the event you get stuck in Amsterdam’s traffic. Plus, if you want to venture out of the city, Holland is very compact, so you won’t be doing many miles in your rental car.
Within the urban areas of Amsterdam, drivers will see a maximum speed limit of 31 mph, increasing to 50 mph as you get further away from built-up areas. The speed limit for the expressways, or autowegen, is 62 mph and 81 mph on the snelwegen. The speed limits on Dutch motorways may vary according to how busy it is and the time of day. If you see a green arrow on the matrix sign above the road, you can use this as an express lane.
Amsterdam has various parking options, depending on your budget and how central you want to be. In the city center, you can choose to make use of the digital parking system and park in a street-side space using a credit card. You can expect to be charged €5.00 ($5.67) per hour or up to €45 ($51) per day. If you want long-term and safer parking, you can find many garages located around the city. Park and Ride is another, cheaper option if you’re traveling from the outskirts of Amsterdam.
On average a rental car in Amsterdam costs $57 per day. But prices differ between operators and you can save money through a price comparison of car rental deals from different agencies. The cheapest price for a car rental in Amsterdam found in the last 2 weeks is $33.
Yes, automatic cars are available in most car renting companies in Amsterdam. As cars with manual transmission are more common in many countries, you might have to pay an additional charge for renting an automatic car.

Finding the right price, understanding the add-ons and staying up to date with policy changes can be a challenge. That’s why KAYAK has produced the ultimate guide to renting a car to help you cut though the jargon and make the right choice for your rental car. Find tips and insights for how to book your rental, what car rental insurance you’ll need, how to deal with a car rental agency and what extra fees to expect (and avoid!).
KAYAK searches thousands of car rental agencies to provide you with offers from all car rental agencies operating in Amsterdam so that you can compare car rental rates, reviews and pick-up and drop-off locations to find the best deal for you.
Yes. Amsterdam car rental companies make money from a full-day rental. So, if, for example, you hire a vehicle for 74 hours (3.8 days), you may end up paying for four days. To save money, select the exact same pick-up and drop-off time.
Car rental cancellation policies differ. Where one rental company may accept up to one calendar day cancelation before the reservation date, another will charge you the full amount if you’re a no-show. If you prepaid for a car rental in Amsterdam and can’t make your trip, it’s best to cancel your booking in advance.

Pros:
The staff were very friendly and the drop off was was also goodCons:
The car was rubbish - I plugged my phone into the USB to use google maps and it continually crashed and kept reverting back to the existing nav system in the car. Then the USB went dead completely. The drivers window did not close properly and at speed made a noise. When closed it would open again and the same process repeat. I had requested a Golf but got instead a Ford focus...not ideal for German roads...I won't accept this again - I should have been more stern...4 locations in Amsterdam

Aug 2017
Pros:
Nice new car.Cons:
Waited 60 minutes in line to receive the car. Yes, they had 3 agents working there, but everyone showed up at once and they new it was the case as they now how many cars they release in a day. No line or queue setup either so it was a bit of a free for all in getting up to the front. Finally when returning the car to this location you just have to park it in the neighborhood. Which, leaves you liable for the cars damage, parking charges, and so on until they are open again and receive the car in. Then, to top it all off because I returned the car after hours and was unable to show a gas receipt (when I filled it all the way up) I was charged a flat rate EZ Fuel charge.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
This place was very accessible, especially if you are not traveling to-and-from Amsterdam through the airport. You can walk to this location from the main train station!Cons:
