Driving in Amsterdam: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Amsterdam.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental companies also ask for matching ID and a credit card for the deposit.
Navigating city driving
Amsterdam has narrow canalside streets and very busy bike lanes.
Driving in the centre is challenging due to limited access and frequent cyclists. Navigation apps help you avoid restricted zones and guide you to ring roads that link nearby towns and attractions.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
There are no toll roads in Amsterdam.
Some central streets have access limits, and the city has low-emission rules for older vehicles. Most rental cars meet requirements, and signs clearly show where access is restricted.
Parking your car in Amsterdam
Parking is limited in the centre, so car parks are usually easier.
Street spaces are scarce and expensive. Multi-storey car parks near train stations and museums are reliable. Park-and-ride sites on the edge of the city help avoid central congestion.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is available across the city, and EV charging stations in Amsterdam are widespread.
Petrol stations are fewer in the centre but common in suburbs. Amsterdam has a large charging network. Apps like PlugShare help you check real-time availability.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are careful, especially around cyclists and trams.
Cyclists often have priority, and bike lanes are everywhere. Keep speeds low in the centre, take care at tram crossings and give extra room when passing cyclists or parked vehicles.
