Driving around the city is straightforward thanks to its convenient ring road. If you’re looking to park your Eindhoven car rental, there are plenty of parking lots available, including on-street and pay-and-display options.
First-time visitors should note that you must drive on the right-side of the road in the Netherlands, as in the U.S. The speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) on most freeways, dropping to 100 km/h (62 mph) on expressways, 80 km/h (50 mph) outside of built-up areas and 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas.
