Traffic Information
If you are arriving by 'plane at the Hague airport, you can hire a car directly from our branch in the terminal building. Our other 2 branches in Rotterdam benefit from the city's ring road, which comprises roads like the A20, going north, the A15 going south, the A4 going west, and the A16 heading east. This road network means the city is fairly easy to navigate, but a sat nav is always a benefit. Rotterdam's central train station is only 600 metres from our city central office and you can easily go on foot in less than 10 minutes for car hire in Rotterdam. Our branch on Kleine Beer to the east of the city centre is easy to reach by public transport.
Our rental cars allow you to explore the magnificent city and surrounding area. Drive over the modern Erasmus bridge to explore the south bank of the Meuse River. Maybe drive off to Dordrecht or the National Park de Biesbosch. Your hire vehicle will also give you easy access to the city's business and industrial districts. When it comes to parking, there are numerous public parking areas to use in the city centre. It is worth noting that the centre is an environmental zone, however, Sixt vehicles comply with these requirements.
Sixt Tip
Rotterdam is an extremely interesting city on a number of levels. Anyone who appreciates sleek new buildings, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, with a unique combination of architectural styles, will love this city. As a glamorous place, you don't get the same feeling of ancient history as in some Dutch and European cities, but Rotterdam makes up for this with wonderful food markets, an impressive harbour, and a romantic riverside setting.
The city has long since recovered from the devastation of World War 2 and is now a world class city that everyone can enjoy and appreciate in different ways. Notable contemporary features include the tilting cube houses by Blaak Metro, the Erasmus Bridge, and the Euromast, the tallest observation tower in the Netherlands. The city boasts more than 160 nationalities as residents and has a vibrant China town that many will enjoy, as well as shops specialising in Caribbean and African artifacts. Many festivals take place during the year, giving Rotterdam a real pulse.
Sightseeing Destinations
Delft
The medieval centre of Delft is a great destination to explore in your rental car, with its intriguing old streets, canals, and wonderful architecture. It was also the home of the painter Johannes Vermeer and the 'View of Delft' is one of his most famous paintings. You can also explore the city's Delftware, which is distinctive and famous local pottery.
The Hague
The Hague is a little like a seaside resort in some respects but it is also the location of international courts and the seat of the Dutch government. There is a thriving expat community in The Hague and a real party atmosphere in some areas. However, the city does have a serious business side and is definitely place where visitors can enjoy a unique atmosphere, combining business with pleasure.
Kinderdijk
A drive out to Kinderdijk will reveal a charming place that is a must-see when in Holland. When you arrive, you will see its 19 historical windmills dating back to 1740. Since 1997, these have been part of a UNESCO World Heritage site and are an incredible landmark on the Dutch landscape.
Business Destinations
Rotterdam's priority business sectors include life sciences and health, transport and logistics, agro-food, maritime and offshore industries, and the technology industry. Any of these areas could be the purpose of your business trip and Rotterdam has been named as the Netherlands' second largest congress city by the International Congress & Convention Association. Rotterdam has prominent conference centres like the Postillion Convention Center and the English Meeting & Conference Center. Both are centrally located for convenient driving in your hire vehicle. To the south of the river, Rotterdam Ahoy is another prominent centre for business travellers to meet, making the city a true hub for international trade.

I recently rented a car from Sixt and I have to say, the entire experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, the employees were warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful.
The rental process was quick and easy, with the staff member at the desk explaining all of the options to me in a clear and concise manner. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I felt like they truly had my best interests in mind.
The car itself was in excellent condition and drove like a dream. I appreciated the fact that the employees took the time to show me all of the car's features and make sure I was comfortable with everything before I hit the road.
Perhaps the best part of the experience, however, was the customer service. Every employee I interacted with, from the front desk to the lot attendants, was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience. They truly went above and beyond to make me feel valued as a customer.

Don't even bother trying to get a rental car in NL if you have less than 3 days to book - unless you go with Sixt! I even missed by rental by a full day (during a holiday) and was taken care of in Rotterdam by their awesome staff!

Great experience! Rented out a van and couldn’t be happier. The employees were very honest regarding the damage in the van upfront and the reembursement of the deposit was returned quite fast with no issues.
To use a next time for sure!

Had great experience renting out a van here. The van was pretty new and nice overall - even had automatic gearbox. We took full insurance to be safe. The key pick up was smooth, we checked together the damages and were ready to go. The deposit was returned to me in just few days. Recommend!
