Because Amsterdam is full of several public transport routes and features many narrow streets, it’s wise to rent a smaller car. The most popular car to rent is an economy one, as it’s the perfect size for parking and is the most economical choice in the event you get stuck in Amsterdam’s traffic. Plus, if you want to venture out of the city, Holland is very compact, so you won’t be doing many miles in your hire car.
Within the urban areas of Amsterdam, drivers will see a maximum speed limit of 31 mph, increasing to 50 mph as you get further away from built-up areas. The speed limit for the expressways, or autowegen, is 62 mph and 81 mph on the snelwegen. The speed limits on Dutch motorways may vary according to how busy it is and the time of day. If you see a green arrow on the matrix sign above the road, you can use this as an express lane.
Amsterdam has various parking options, depending on your budget and how central you want to be. In the city center, you can choose to make use of the digital parking system and park in a street-side space using a credit card. You can expect to be charged €5.00 ($5.67) per hour or up to €45 ($51) per day. If you want long-term and safer parking, you can find many garages located around the city. Park and Ride is another, cheaper option if you’re traveling from the outskirts of Amsterdam.
On average a car hire in Amsterdam costs £47 per day.

Most car hire providers in Amsterdam offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Amsterdam, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.
Some car hire companies, such as Sixt, Europcar, and Hertz, require drivers from outside the EU to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to their national driver's licence for Amsterdam car hire. The IDP is a translation of your national driver's licence and is a standardised document that contains your name, photo, and driving credentials. Failure to present the IDP when requested by officials in Amsterdam could result in a penalty that will be added to your fees.
Most car hire companies in Amsterdam require the driver to be at least 21 years old to hire a car, and some even require the driver to be 23 or older. However, there are a few companies that allow drivers under 21 to hire a car, such as Europcar and Budget. It's important to note that these companies may charge a young driver fee or require additional documentation, so it's always best to check with the car hire company before booking.

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...4 locations in Amsterdam

Pros:
Fast, easy, seamless to pick up and return.Cons:
When we booked the car, there was no indication that the office would close early (12pm) on our return day or that after hours return requires paying 6€ per hour for parking. On Google maps the hours stated open until 6pm. More transparency would have been appreciated.10.0 Wonderful
