Cheap Car Hire in Amsterdam from £21

There are a few driving requirements that you need to keep in mind if you wish to use cheap car hire in Amsterdam. Firstly, you need to be at least 21 years old and to have had your driver’s licence for more than one year to book a hire vehicle. Drivers below the age of 25 are subject to an additional fee, and so are those above 70 years old. Along with your driver’s licence, you must provide an additional form of photo identification, such as a national ID or a passport, and an International Driving Permit if your licence wasn’t issued in English. Make sure to also bring a valid debit or credit card at the time of your booking, as it is not possible to pay for your car hire in Amsterdam in cash.

The most important thing you need to keep in mind is that traffic in the Netherlands drives on the right side of the road, like most of Europe. Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers in any vehicle, and children under 12 can't ride in the front seat. The speed limits are as follows: 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (49.7 mph) on open roads and 120 km/h (74.5 mph) on highways. These may vary in different areas or depending on weather conditions, so keep an eye out for any road signs that indicate otherwise.
