Airports

Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS)

Free2move cars stand in the WTC car park, level −2, rows 98–99 (Schiphol Boulevard 329). The barrier opens by itself for a Free2move car.

Fees and booking

Free2move charges €11.99 to start and €11.99 to end a trip at Schiphol. The first 20 minutes of a reservation are free, so book as you land.

Between cities and countries

Greenwheels: round trips only, but cars stand at NS train stations around the country. Take the train, then the car for the last stretch.
Free2move: drive out of Amsterdam if you like, but end the trip back in the Home Area, at Schiphol or in a paid drop-off zone just outside.
Check: Amsterdam only, and the car goes back to the zone it came from.

Parking and fuel

Free2move: public street parking in the Amsterdam Home Area is included.
Check: street parking in the car's own area is included; parking garages are off limits.
Greenwheels: its fixed spot is free, but a stop in a paid zone during the trip is yours to pay.
Dutch low-emission zones only restrict diesel cars. Petrol and electric cars may enter all of them, with no registration.

Before you go

Register before you fly: a photo of your licence and a bank card; Greenwheels also takes a €100 refundable deposit.
Greenwheels wants a Visa or Mastercard credit card (or iDEAL). Debit and prepaid cards don't work.
MyWheels needs a Dutch address and SnappCar needs Dutch or German residence, so neither works for visitors.
