While driving in Amsterdam is not typically the best way of getting around within the city, renting a car is sometimes the most practical way to explore the surrounding areas of the country, where public transportation is less accessible or where biking might not be an option. Rates are reasonable, when you are driving yourself, since the companies are largely international companies that are represented here. As they are largely catering to visitors to Amsterdam, most companies have desks at Schipol Airport. However, in addition to their service desks at the airport, there are also local branches within the city, many of which can be found on the Overtoom, which is located in the Southwest of the city centre.
