Traffic Information

If you are landing at Amsterdam airport, you can collect your vehicle direct from our office at the terminal. Schiphol Airport runs a direct train link to Amsterdam Central Station where we also have an office. All our Amsterdam branches benefit from the A10 ring road, which improves access to different parts of the city. The ring road connects to major routes like the A1, A8, and A5 and these lead to different parts of the country and beyond to help drivers access and explore the Netherlands. Driving into Amsterdam's city centre often involves navigating narrow streets with pedestrians and cyclists. As in any built-up urban area, driving can be challenging. Therefore, when you hire a car, it is good to know that you can benefit from the city's park and ride scheme or use central car parks for convenience.

Once you have picked up your vehicle, you may be tempted to explore wonderful Amsterdam. The Royal Palace is a particular landmark and there are also some fascinating museums, including the Van Gough museum and Ann Frank House. Having your own transport means you can drive out of the city and explore further afield. If business is the purpose of your trip, your vehicle will give you easy access to the various business districts and industrial parks. When it comes to parking in Amsterdam, you can use public parking areas like P1 Parking in the city centre. From here, you can easily explore the best of the city centre. As a low emission zone, cars must comply with certain standards and all our vehicles comply with the latest regulations.

Sixt Tip

Visiting the unique city of Amsterdam is an unforgettable experience. As well as benefitting from a more open and relaxed society, Amsterdam is overflowing with fabulous galleries and museums, including the Rijksmuseum for exceptional art and the NEMO science museum for people of all ages. Therefore, it is the ideal place for a cultural holiday or simply for relaxing. The many cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and souvenir shops invite you to linger in any of the city's central districts and soak in the atmosphere.

Hire a bike in Amsterdam to take a break from driving and explore the streets and canals with quirky houseboats moored at the various docking points. If you feel like some time out from the bustling streets, explore Amsterdam's green open spaces like the Vondelpark, which is not far from Liedspline. This pleasant park features a series of ponds and lakes connected by mini canals and bordered by footpaths. It is beautifully enhanced with a variety of plants and shrubs and provides a peaceful and relaxing ambiance for both locals and visitors. Whether you are in Amsterdam for a day, a weekend, or a few weeks, the city's historic and contemporary features will delight and amaze you, prompting you to return!

Sightseeing Destinations

Visit the Tulip Fields of Lisse from March to early May and you will be amazed at the gorgeous, colourful display. If you go at any other time, explore the 17th-century Keukenhof Castle and the Museum de Zwarte Tulp to find out more about the area's intriguing history.
