Driving Tips for Schiphol
Your Dutch adventure begins as soon as you rent a car in Schiphol. For a smooth and pleasant trip, keep these recommendations in mind:
- Local driving etiquette: Drivers in the Netherlands are generally calm and collected. In fact, you can be charged with aggressive driving for putting other drivers or pedestrians in danger.
- Bicycles: There are more bikes than there are people in the Netherlands, and the same goes for Schiphol and its surroundings. Always be on the lookout for cyclists sharing the road.
- Airport traffic: The city of Schiphol is home to the country’s major airport, and as such, traffic to and from AMS can get heavy. Try to avoid the A4 and A5 in this area when possible.
- Buses: You will also be sharing the road with buses, and you must always give them the right of way when they are signaling that they need to pull away from the curb.
With these tips, driving in the Netherlands will be a relaxing experience.
