When driving in the city, hiring a smaller car from your Leiden car hire company is advised, as this will make parking and driving in town a lot easier than larger vehicles. However, if you are travelling with a group of people or if you want to explore some of the more rural surrounding areas, an SUV or minibus might be more appropriate. The hire company you choose for car hire in Leiden should be able to provide you with a vehicle that suits your needs, which will depend on the number of people you plan on travelling with and the distances you intend to travel.

When travelling in more built-up areas of the Netherlands, like business areas and residential areas in Leiden, you have to assume that the maximum speed limit in these areas is 50 km/h (around 31 mph). Outside residential and business areas, the speed limit increases to 80 km/h (around 50 mph), and up to 130 km/h on highways, equating to roughly 80 mph. It's vital that you stick to the speed limits in Leiden, to avoid receiving fines, which you'll receive from your Leiden car hire company.
