Return of Rental Vehicles

To return a vehicle, follow the specific signage within the airport. If the rental company counter is closed at the time of return, you must contact the company by telephone. During terminal opening hours, keys can be deposited in the designated secure key drop box.

Requirements to Rent a Vehicle

Although specific requirements may vary slightly between companies, in general you will need to meet the following conditions:

  • Driving Licence: A valid, current driving licence issued in your country of residence. Drivers from outside the European Union may require an International Driving Permit (IDP).
  • Minimum Age: At least 21 years old (this age may vary, and for some vehicle categories or companies it may be higher, such as 23 or 25 years). Young drivers (e.g. under 25) are usually required to pay an additional daily surcharge.
  • Payment: A credit card in the name of the main driver to cover the security deposit. Some companies may accept debit cards under certain conditions.
  • Insurance: Basic third-party liability insurance is mandatory and is normally included in the rental rate. Additional coverage options (such as CDW – Collision Damage Waiver) are available to reduce the excess in the event of damage.

Important tip: Always check the exact requirements, fuel policies, included mileage and insurance coverage details directly on the rental company’s website when making your reservation.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Netherlands

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Netherlands. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
