Both of these roads frequently experience enormous traffic jams during rush hours and periods of heavy traffic. Smaller roads in the Amsterdam area are generally easy to drive around, although some roads can be rather narrow and operate traffic-calming schemes, such as speed-bumps.

When hiring a car at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport you will need to present a current driving licence. Visitors arriving at the airport from outside of the actual EU would be advised to also bring an IDP (International Driving Permit), which always helps and remains valid for 12 months.

Parking in Amsterdam is pricey, with pay and display parking areas operating throughout the city's central zone, between the hours of 09:00 and midnight Monday to Saturday, and from 12:00 to midnight each Sunday. However, prices reduce outside of this area.
