KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rotterdam
- Hire a car on your visit to Rotterdam to ensure that you can explore the city and surrounds on your own timetable. After exploring Rotterdam itself, why not take a drive and visit the picturesque city of Delft, just under half an hour’s drive from Rotterdam? You could also venture further afield and go to the beach at Noordwijk, a destination you can generally be at in under an hour in your Rotterdam car hire.
- Car hire companies at Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) are situated in the public space on Floor 0 within the terminal building, and here you can hire cars from companies such as Avis, Hertz and Europcar. Once you’ve completed your paperwork, it’s easy to find your car hire in Rotterdam, as the hire car parks are located between P3 and P6, an easy 8-10min walk from the terminal.
- You’ll be happy to know that drivers in The Netherlands are generally courteous and the roads are well maintained. When driving your Rotterdam car hire, it is important to note that they drive on the right-hand side of the road. Although lanes tend to be narrow, drivers are careful and give priority as per the rules of the road and as indicated by signs. Drivers in The Netherlands don’t make excessive use of their car horns.
- The rush hour times in Rotterdam are when the roads are busier and congestion and delays could slow you down. Try to avoid driving during the week between 08:00 and 09:30 when commuters are trying to get to work. The evening rush hour is worse, with the peak being at around 17:00; though, it is wise to try and avoid driving between 16:30 and 18:00. The busier time of the week is on Fridays between 16:00 and 17:00, as people start to leave the city for the weekend.
- Book your rental car in Rotterdam at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Rotterdam are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Rotterdam?
Make sure your car hire in Rotterdam is suited to the type of driving you will be doing. City driving and short-distance journeys are best done in a compact, economy car or perhaps an intermediate sedan, as these will be easier to manoeuvre around the narrow roads and into parking spaces. While The Netherlands isn’t a big country, it is pleasant to have a comfortable journey when driving on the motorways, so you could consider an SUV for more room for you and your luggage or a luxury car for additional comfort.
What’s the speed limit in Rotterdam?
The speed limit in the built-up areas in the inner city of Rotterdam is 50 kph (although there are plans to drop this to 30 kph), while the limit on single carriageway roads outside the city centre is 80 kph. If you are going to drive on dual carriageways as you venture into the countryside in your car hire in Rotterdam, the speed limit is 100 kph, and on the motorways, this increases to 130 kph.
Where are the best places to park in Rotterdam?
There is no free parking in Rotterdam and you will need to pay whether you are parked on the street or in some of the multi-storey car parks that exist within the city. In the case of on-street parking, payment can only be made with a credit or debit card and the cost is based on zones, with the cheaper rate at about € 1.80 (around A$ 2.70) per hour up to roughly € 4.62 (around A$ 6.80) per hour. In addition to city centre parking, there are several park-and-ride options, such as P&R Alexander and P&R Schenkel on the outskirts of Rotterdam, where you can park your car for free if you continue on public transport; otherwise, you will pay about € 0.50 (around A$ 0.80) per 15min.

Pros:
Staff friendly and professional. Paperwork was done at a decent pace.Cons:
Distance from port. My fault for choosing an Aygo but definately need a more powerful engine. The sluggish engines increase chances of accidents. Also, prices could be better as only hired car for 5 hours.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
I reserved a car in the evening for the next morning, only to be called that morning and told there were no cars available. I had to look for a different company on my own to get a car, which set schedule back a day. While the reservation was last minute, they shouldn't allow people to reserve cars when they have none.2.0 Poor
