Renting a Car in Eindhoven, Netherlands

The city of Eindhoven is the fifth largest city in The Netherlands. It is well-connected to the Dutch road network.

Renting cars in Holland is not difficult. However, car rental agencies might require that the renter is over the age of 21, even though the legal driving age is 18. They also normally require that the driver has held a license for more than two years.

There are several car rental agencies in Eindhoven, both in the city proper and at the airport. They offer a range of cars, from compact cars to luxury sedans and minibuses. Insurance is normally included in the rental.
