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.
- 25% of our users found a car hire at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for AED 128 or less

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.

Pros:
The pick up agent is slow and unfair. She charged us for 2nd driver without our consent. Also, it took her over one hour to complete the process yet our pick up time started as soon as we talked.Cons:
The pick up time should be from the time we got the key, not from the time we were at the signing desk.6.8 Okay

The pick up and drop off processes were super fast and friendly. I am not used to driving European cars and they answered a few questions that I felt were...lets say "basic", without making me feel like an idiot. The man at the vehicle return was very nice as well and informed me where the nearest gas station was so that I could fill up and return quickly before my reservation expired and I would have to pay for the gas refill.8.0 Very Good

Cons:
When I arrived, the car I booked wasn't available. The car they replaced it with was too small for our group, so we were stuck cramped in a tight space and having to shuttle back and forth for our whole trip. I asked for full insurance coverage and only received basic coverage. Now they say there is a small scratch on the bumper and have charged 850 euros to my credit card for the damage. This has been an absolute nightmare.4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
The staff were very friendly and the drop off was was also goodCons:
The car was rubbish - I plugged my phone into the USB to use google maps and it continually crashed and kept reverting back to the existing nav system in the car. Then the USB went dead completely. The drivers window did not close properly and at speed made a noise. When closed it would open again and the same process repeat. I had requested a Golf but got instead a Ford focus...not ideal for German roads...I won't accept this again - I should have been more stern...ADDCAR RENTAL
