Because Amsterdam is full of several public transport routes and features many narrow streets, it’s wise to rent a smaller car. The most popular car to rent is an economy one, as it’s the perfect size for parking and is the most economical choice in the event you get stuck in Amsterdam’s traffic. Plus, if you want to venture out of the city, Holland is very compact, so you won’t be doing many miles in your rental car.

Within the urban areas of Amsterdam, drivers will see a maximum speed limit of 31 mph, increasing to 50 mph as you get further away from built-up areas. The speed limit for the expressways, or autowegen, is 62 mph and 81 mph on the snelwegen. The speed limits on Dutch motorways may vary according to how busy it is and the time of day. If you see a green arrow on the matrix sign above the road, you can use this as an express lane.

Due to the high taxes in the Netherlands, the cost of gas is among the highest in the world. Amsterdam also has higher gas prices than the national average. When you fill up your rental car, you can expect to pay around €1.70 for a liter as opposed to €1.68 in the rest of the Netherlands. This is about $7.30 per US gallon. Because gas prices vary from station to station, you should try to fill up in the city center rather than on the snelwegen.

Amsterdam has various parking options, depending on your budget and how central you want to be. In the city center, you can choose to make use of the digital parking system and park in a street-side space using a credit card. You can expect to be charged €5.00 ($5.67) per hour or up to €45 ($51) per day. If you want long-term and safer parking, you can find many garages located around the city. Park and Ride is another, cheaper option if you’re traveling from the outskirts of Amsterdam.
