Our Car Rental Services

Our range of vehicles is extremely comprehensive for those wanting car rental in Rotterdam. We have great value saloons, which are economical and will suit individuals and families. Alternatively, indulge in something more sporty or perhaps hire a luxury vehicle. We have convertibles and sporty models too and all our cars are from leading brands, including Audi, BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz. However, if you're looking for something more rugged, our 4×4s are ideal for exploring the countryside. We even have vans and trucks to cater for moving projects, e.g. transporting goods from place to place. Especially noteworthy is that we provide accessible vehicles for those with mobility needs. With handy extras like sat navs and child seats, we aim to make your journey as efficient and comfortable as possible.

Traffic Information

If you are arriving by 'plane at the Hague airport, you can hire a car directly from our branch in the terminal building. Our other 2 branches in Rotterdam benefit from the city's ring road, which comprises roads like the A20, going north, the A15 going south, the A4 going west, and the A16 heading east. This road network means the city is fairly easy to navigate, but a sat nav is always a benefit. Rotterdam's central train station is only 600 metres from our city central office and you can easily go on foot in less than 10 minutes for car hire in Rotterdam. Our branch on Kleine Beer to the east of the city centre is easy to reach by public transport.

Our rental cars allow you to explore the magnificent city and surrounding area. Drive over the modern Erasmus bridge to explore the south bank of the Meuse River. Maybe drive off to Dordrecht or the National Park de Biesbosch. Your hire vehicle will also give you easy access to the city's business and industrial districts. When it comes to parking, there are numerous public parking areas to use in the city centre. It is worth noting that the centre is an environmental zone, however, Sixt vehicles comply with these requirements.

Sixt Tip

Rotterdam is an extremely interesting city on a number of levels. Anyone who appreciates sleek new buildings, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, with a unique combination of architectural styles, will love this city. As a glamorous place, you don't get the same feeling of ancient history as in some Dutch and European cities, but Rotterdam makes up for this with wonderful food markets, an impressive harbour, and a romantic riverside setting.

The city has long since recovered from the devastation of World War 2 and is now a world class city that everyone can enjoy and appreciate in different ways. Notable contemporary features include the tilting cube houses by Blaak Metro, the Erasmus Bridge, and the Euromast, the tallest observation tower in the Netherlands. The city boasts more than 160 nationalities as residents and has a vibrant China town that many will enjoy, as well as shops specialising in Caribbean and African artifacts. Many festivals take place during the year, giving Rotterdam a real pulse.

Sightseeing Destinations

Delft

The medieval centre of Delft is a great destination to explore in your rental car, with its intriguing old streets, canals, and wonderful architecture. It was also the home of the painter Johannes Vermeer and the 'View of Delft' is one of his most famous paintings. You can also explore the city's Delftware, which is distinctive and famous local pottery.

The Hague

The Hague is a little like a seaside resort in some respects but it is also the location of international courts and the seat of the Dutch government. There is a thriving expat community in The Hague and a real party atmosphere in some areas. However, the city does have a serious business side and is definitely place where visitors can enjoy a unique atmosphere, combining business with pleasure.

Kinderdijk

A drive out to Kinderdijk will reveal a charming place that is a must-see when in Holland. When you arrive, you will see its 19 historical windmills dating back to 1740. Since 1997, these have been part of a UNESCO World Heritage site and are an incredible landmark on the Dutch landscape.

Business Destinations

Rotterdam's priority business sectors include life sciences and health, transport and logistics, agro-food, maritime and offshore industries, and the technology industry. Any of these areas could be the purpose of your business trip and Rotterdam has been named as the Netherlands' second largest congress city by the International Congress & Convention Association. Rotterdam has prominent conference centres like the Postillion Convention Center and the English Meeting & Conference Center. Both are centrally located for convenient driving in your hire vehicle. To the south of the river, Rotterdam Ahoy is another prominent centre for business travellers to meet, making the city a true hub for international trade.
