Car Hire in Gaasperdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Amsterdam, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If someone else will drive, confirm the rental company's policy on additional drivers and any fees that may apply. Some might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

Select a pickup location that's convenient for you. Many rental firms have desks at airports for quick access, while others might require a shuttle service.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

Before returning the car, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the vehicle and any necessary inspections can ease the process.
