Top tips for hiring a car at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Car hire at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is made easy because six of the most popular big-name car rental companies are all situated directly behind the arrivals hall of the airport, in a central area called Schiphol Plaza. There are several more agencies in the immediate surrounding area to the airport and these are accessible via a short walk or a shuttle service if you have a lot of luggage.
The airport is approximately seven and a half miles from the city centre, Amsterdam Centraal, which should take you about 10min to get there by car, however, with Amsterdam's constant construction going on it is not unusual to get stuck behind a construction vehicle for a couple of minutes extending your travel time slightly. Also, keep in mind that you will need to drive slowly and be mindful of pedestrians and bikes as the streets are teeming with activity.
We highly recommend pre-booking your vehicle through us and loading your flight details onto your online booking information, at which point a collection time will be advised by the agency you have decided to use for your Amsterdam Schiphol Airport car hire. You should try to stick to this time as best you can. However, if you are running late for whatever reason be sure to contact the agency. Don't worry if your flight is delayed or cancelled, the agency will be able to track your flight from the details provided and adjust your booking accordingly.
Car hire at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport does require you to have a chargeable credit card on the collection of the vehicle to pay your deposit. This deposit covers damage or theft to the car while in your care. It is generally refunded to your credit account between seven and 21 working days.
Book your car hire at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about renting a car at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
What is the drop-off procedure for Amsterdam Schiphol Airport car hire?
All the rental agencies will provide you with a digital confirmation of your booking if pre-booked. It will have a time, date and location either in the airport or at a drop-off location situated just outside the airport. We suggest you confirm those details with the representative at the desk when collecting the car.
What if I want to change my drop-off time?
This is not a problem; however, it must be done at least 12h before the scheduled time. That could fluctuate depending on the agency policy. If you don't manage to officially change your drop- off time, and you are late you are going to be charged a late fee. All the agencies are open from 06:00 to 23:00 seven days a week. If you do need to make a booking or change your collection time or cancel your car outside of those operating hours, online communication is effective. Some of the agents do have a 24h customer service line, however, do make sure you add your flight details to your initial booking, that way the agent will be able to track your flight and adjust accordingly if there are any delays without you having to contact them.
What is the penalty for the cancellation of the vehicle?
Mostly the agencies will confirm if there is a cancellation fee, and when looking at car hire at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, most do offer free cancellation if you inform the company no later than 6h before pickup.
I am travelling with my family, do car hire agencies at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport provide family-friendly vehicle options?
We would recommend looking for a full-size van vehicle which will seat up to five adults and at least six pieces of luggage. It is a must to pre-book these vehicles at least 48h in advance to avoid the disappointment of unavailability on arrival.
Which car rental companies will pick you up at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol?
Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to off-airport locations include Ace, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Europcar, FLIZZR, Goldcar Rental SP, and GREEN MOTION .

The staff at Schiphol were awful! They were misinformed about what cards they can accept and when this was pointed out to them, they became rude and aggressive. When we asked for the name of the person serving us, he said he was not obliged.

I have ask to pay in USD, they sale yes but processed in Euros. Warning message on the car screen. No one check before No information about the car. At return I asked a document to prove “good reception” they said you will receive an email within 10 minutes. But not

All was pretty good besides the amount of money needed to pay for Insurance. I paid 65% of the renting cost for Insurance so the whole deal was very expensive
I lived the ease of scheduling with Kayak. I hated dealing with the desk at Schipol. They were rude, dismissive, and intrusive. They didn't accept either of my Visa or Mastercard (Revolut, Wise, Discover). And they asked to see my wallet to see if any of my other cards could be used. They were argumentative and dismissed me without being solution oriented or empathetic. I was told that I should have read the fine print which was buried deep and difficult to pull up.

I would like to see larger cars with more room for luggage. That’s the only concern. But, one of your professional employees made a pertinent point with respect to the small roads in Europe in general and also about the potential taxes on the vehicles that are imposed by various governments in the EU. All in all, I had no issues with the car.

The checkin line at the airport was 35 minutes. Way too long. My reserved car was not available. I ordered an SUV and they only gave me a Skoda Skála sedan. With the long wait I was at their mercy to even get a car and when I brought it to their attention they said that it was the class I ordered which was absolutely incorrect. I would appreciate a refund. Hertz is a top name company and as s customer I deserve a voice.

We were running a little later than expected due to flight delays but it put us across the return time, for which they initially charged us an extra day at a much higher rate. Fortunately Mo at Schiphol airport was able to take care of us.

Before leaving home I got an email to check in for the car rental. After checking in I was to proceed to the rental and did not need to go to the desk at the airport. So I walked to the parking pick up desk. When I got there the guy told me I had to go to the desk at the airport to check in. But, because it was not very busy there the guy did fill it all in for me, so that was very nice. He did not know about the email that I got the day before about checking in from home. I thought that was strange…
