Anywhere Campers AmsterdamAmsterdamView map
For campervan hire in Amsterdam, the best move is to leave the canals to the bicycles and hit the road as soon as you leave the city: in less than an hour you reach the windmills of Zaanse Schans, the fishing villages of the IJsselmeer, the tulip fields of Lisse or the North Sea dunes. Further afield, Friesland, the island of Texel and Zeeland extend the trip. Our 6 partner companies, including Anywhere Campers, Indie Campers, McRent and Touring Cars, rent everything from camper vans for two to family motorhomes.
Four of them hand over their vehicles outside the city, in the bulb region, in Flevoland or on the edge of the Veluwe: a start without crossing the centre.

1 Waterland, Zaanse Schans and the IJsselmeer harbours
- Amsterdam
- Zaanse Schans
- Marken
- Volendam
- Edam
- Hoorn
- Enkhuizen
- Amsterdam
North of the IJ, the windmills of Zaanse Schans lead to the meadows of Waterland; in Marken, you leave the vehicle in the car park at the village entrance and explore the wooden houses on mounds on foot. Volendam, Edam and its cheese, then Hoorn and Enkhuizen, former Dutch East India Company ports, line the IJsselmeer. The dyke roads are narrow: a campervan or camper van slips through easily.

2 Texel, the Afsluitdijk and the Frisian lakes
- Amsterdam
- Alkmaar

- Texel
- Afsluitdijk
- Harlingen
- Sneek
- Lemmer
- Amsterdam
Via Alkmaar and its cheese market, in season, the road north leads to Den Helder, where the ferry reaches Texel in about twenty minutes: dunes, seals and vast beaches facing the Wadden Sea. You then cross the great Afsluitdijk dyke to Harlingen, then the Frisian lakes of Sneek and Lemmer, another departure city of our partners, before returning through the polders of Flevoland.

To the south-west, the flower fields between Hillegom and Lisse lead to Leiden, then to The Hague and the dunes of Scheveningen. After Delft and its blue pottery, the listed windmills of Kinderdijk come before the beaches of Goeree-Overflakkee, the Brouwersdam, Zierikzee and Middelburg. The return leg passes through Rotterdam, where you can also drop off the vehicle if the company accepts one-way hires.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Amsterdam?
Best time
Spring and September
April to June, September
highs 13 to 21 °C, lows 5 to 13 °C
The best period: tulips and hyacinths in April and May, very long days in June, quieter campsites in September. The air stays cool, especially in the evening, and the wind blows hard on the dykes: bring warm clothes and a windbreaker, even in spring.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 22 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
The warmest months, and the busiest: the beaches of Zandvoort and Texel, Frisian campsites and IJsselmeer harbours fill up quickly. Showers remain common; book your vehicle, ferry and pitches well in advance.
March and October
March, October
highs 10 to 15 °C, lows 3 to 10 °C
Two cool, windy shoulder seasons, October being the wettest month of the year. In return, campsites are almost empty, the Veluwe forests take on autumn colours and March sees the first crocuses bloom in the bulb region.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 7 to 10 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
Winter is grey, damp and short on sunshine, but rarely freezing. Some campsites close, others stay open along with many camperplaatsen. A well-heated vehicle lets you combine Amsterdam's museums, Christmas markets and long walks on the deserted North Sea beaches.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Park and ride rather than the centre
Parking in central Amsterdam is among the most expensive in Europe, and the quays, narrow bridges and cycle lanes leave little room for a motorhome. Park in a park-and-ride (P+R) on the outskirts, then take the metro or tram; check the maximum height first, as many of these car parks are covered.
Low-emission zone inside the A10 ring
Inside the A10 ring road, Amsterdam bans the oldest diesel vehicles, and since 2025 a zero-emission zone has targeted delivery vans and lorries. Recent rental vehicles are normally compliant, but the rules depend on how the vehicle is registered: ask the rental company to confirm and check the rules in force before driving through the city.
Camperplaatsen in the IJsselmeer harbours
Wild camping is banned in the Netherlands, including in car parks at the foot of the dykes. Around the IJsselmeer, the marinas of Hoorn, Enkhuizen or Lemmer often have a camperplaats, a paid motorhome area with electricity and waste disposal, ideal for a night facing the sailing boats.
Wind on the dykes
On the Afsluitdijk, the Houtribdijk between Enkhuizen and Lelystad or the Zeeland dams, nothing stops the sea wind. A tall motorhome is very sensitive to side gusts there: slow down, keep a firm grip on the wheel and, if a storm warning is issued, postpone the crossing.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Amsterdam
Where can I pick up a campervan in Amsterdam?
Six partner companies welcome you: Anywhere Campers and Avis Explore in Amsterdam, Indie Campers in Lisse and Rent Easy in Hillegom, in the heart of the bulb region, McRent in Almere-Buiten, in Flevoland, and Touring Cars in Terschuur, near Barneveld, about an hour's drive to the south-east. The exact address is in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Amsterdam?
The rate depends mainly on the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle: a van for two in November and a family motorhome during the tulip season are not comparable. Run a search with your dates to compare the offers of our six companies in the Amsterdam area, mandatory fees included and bookable immediately.
Which vehicles can I hire in Amsterdam?
The offers observed range from vans sleeping two, such as the Compact Plus or the Urban Plus, to the Sunlight A70, an over-cab motorhome with six seats. In between, the Carado T-447 takes four people, the Adria Matrix and the Sunlight T 68 five. Several models come with manual or automatic gearboxes: state your preference when choosing the offer.
Can I visit Keukenhof by campervan?
Yes, and it is one of the best starting points: Indie Campers in Lisse and Rent Easy in Hillegom are a few minutes from the park. Keukenhof only opens in spring, usually from mid-March to mid-May, and the surrounding fields bloom mostly in April. Buy your ticket online and arrive at opening time, before the coaches.
Can I return the vehicle in Utrecht, Rotterdam or Lemmer?
Utrecht, Amersfoort, Houten, The Hague, Rotterdam and Lemmer are also departure cities of our partners. One-way hires depend on each company and often carry a surcharge; by entering the return city in your search, you only see the offers that accept it, surcharge included. Lemmer, for example, lets you end a Frisian loop without returning to Amsterdam.
How many days should I plan from Amsterdam?
Two to three days are enough for Waterland and the IJsselmeer villages, five to six for the bulb coast, Kinderdijk and Zeeland. For Friesland and a Wadden island, allow at least a week: ferry crossings, days cycling on the island and the wind, which sometimes forces you to shorten a stage, all take time.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Amsterdam
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in the Netherlands?
A category B licence is enough for vans and motorhomes with a maximum authorised mass of up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers most vehicles hired around Amsterdam. With a licence issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit may also be required. The minimum age and years of driving experience vary by company.
How do I get to the depots from Schiphol Airport?
Direct trains link Schiphol to Amsterdam and Almere; Hillegom and Barneveld, close to Terschuur, can be reached by train with one change. Lisse has no railway station: take a bus or taxi from the nearby airport. Let the rental company know your arrival time so you can arrange the vehicle handover appointment.
Where can I sleep in a motorhome in Amsterdam?
Campsites welcome motorhomes within the city itself, such as Gaasper, in the south-east, or the Amsterdamse Bos campsite, on the edge of Amstelveen, both linked to the centre by metro or bus. They fill up quickly from April to September: book ahead. Sleeping in the vehicle on public roads is banned and fined everywhere in the city.
Can I take a motorhome to the Wadden Islands?
Texel is reached from Den Helder by a frequent ferry that takes motorhomes without a reservation. For Terschelling and Ameland, book the vehicle crossing, as space is limited. Vlieland and Schiermonnikoog are closed to visitors' cars: you leave the motorhome in the harbour car park and board on foot or by bike.
When should I book a campervan in Amsterdam?
Several months ahead for the April flowering, King's Day at the end of that month, the Ascension and Whitsun long weekends and the summer, when the Dutch also travel in large numbers. In March, October and winter, a few weeks are often enough. For a specific model, an automatic for example, book as early as possible.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Amsterdam
Amsterdam combines a world-famous capital with, less than an hour's drive away, landscapes found nowhere else: the windmills of the Zaan, polders below sea level, the dykes of the IJsselmeer, flower fields and North Sea dunes. The country is compact and the stages short, leaving time for cycling, museums and the terraces of the old harbours.
Our six partner companies, spread between the city, the bulb region, Flevoland and the Veluwe, offer everything from vans for two to six-seat family motorhomes. Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague or Lemmer, other departure cities, let you end the trip elsewhere. And from May to September, the mild climate makes long evenings by the water particularly pleasant.
