Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check what rules apply with each supplier before booking your car hire in the Netherlands.
Add a car seat to your Arnhem car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Requirements change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest way to travel.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
If you've never driven in the Netherlands, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
In the Netherlands, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to drink, leave the driving to someone else or use public transport instead.
One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 8am. Get where you're going faster by avoiding rush hours in general.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) for day-to-day spending throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash to cover you in every situation.
Dutch is the language most often spoken across the country.
