Family car hire
If you’re exploring Amsterdam with your family, a midsize or premium car is a great choice. They offer a smooth and easy drive, with more space for passengers and luggage.
4X4 hire
Amsterdam’s streets aren’t that well-suited to large cars like 4x4s. However, if you’re heading into the countryside, a sturdy vehicle that can tackle all terrains is the perfect pick.
Hatchback car hire
Sometimes, you just need an in-between car that’s easy for zipping around cities, but still offers enough space for bags and legs. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, choose a hatchback for your car hire.
