Car rental at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

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.

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.

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.

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.
