Rotterdam car rental driving guide

Driving in and around Rotteradm

Hiring a car in Rotterdam means it's possible to quickly get around town at your own leisure. The neighbouring towns also promise many delights; more classic windmills can be found in nearby Schiedam, while the views of Rotterdam atop Carnisselande must be seen to be believed.

Car hire in Rotterdam also allows for speedy travel to other major cities in the Netherlands; it's only a half an hour drive to Gouda, where the famous eponymous cheese is made! The Hague is also under half an hour away if you take the A13; this is a United Nations city with much historical significance.
