Good to know
Age requirements often vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in the Netherlands may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're going away with the kids, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Alphen aan den Rijn car rental reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in the Netherlands.
Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
In the Netherlands, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to have a few drinks, leave the driving to someone else or take another form of transport.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
