Insurance and optional extras

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Haarlem by adding a few handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to be your go-everywhere guide, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

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 pay extra and face some limits. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your rental in the Netherlands.

  • Add a car seat to your Haarlem car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest way to travel.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up quick and easy. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in the Netherlands.

  • Local speed limits are often about 45kph through built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the Netherlands is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make driving smoother by avoiding rush hours in general.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's convenient, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't accepted.

  • Dutch is the language you'll most often encounter in this country.
