Motorhome & Campervan Hire in Amsterdam

You’ll need to fill up the freshwater tank at the beginning of your trip, and empty your grey water at the end. This can be done at a campsite, but if you need a dedicated area, Amsterdam has one of the only motorhome services in the Netherlands where you can do both of these tasks.

• Haan petrol station, Fortuinweg 3, 1544 VX Zaandijk

Make sure to return your campervan rental with a full tank of diesel and refill the AdBlue. The nearest petrol station to our Amsterdam location is:

• BP Gas Station, Lakenblekerstraat 5, 1431 GE Aalsmeer

When you hire a campervan in Amsterdam you’ll find that parking in the city centre is expensive and doesn’t always accommodate the size of your vehicle. Amsterdam has a great park and ride system, and if you park after 10am and begin your return journey in the city centre zone, you’ll be entitled to discounted parking of €1 for the day plus the cost of your travel card. Their website has all the info, as well as a tool to see the current capacity of all their P+R venues.

• P+R RAI, Europaboulevard, 1078 GZ Amsterdam
• P+R Zeeburg 1, Piet Heintunnel, 1095 KN Amsterdam
• P+R ArenA, Burgemeester Stramanweg 130, 1101 EP Amsterdam
• Parkeerplaats, Europaboulevard, Amsterdam – this is not a P+R venue, which will be useful if you don’t want to go into the city centre. Take the tram from Drentepark tram stop, around a five-minute walk. Parking is free on weekends and public holidays but otherwise €2.50 per hour.

Wondering where to buy food and other essentials when you pick up your motorhome rental in Amsterdam? There are several supermarkets close to the roadsurfer station, as well as a shopping centre which has a HEMA department store for forgotten essentials, clothing shops, and a sports shop. There are also places to get food and drink. The Dutch version of a drug store – like Boots in the UK or a French pharmacy – is a chain called Etos, although if you need a pharmacy for medication, you’ll need to find an ‘apoteek’.

• Albert Heijn supermarket, Maalderij 31, 1185 ZC Amstelveen
• Coop supermarket, Van der Hooplaan 180, 1185 GK Amstelveen
• Lidl supermarket, Amsterdamseweg 188, 1182 HL Amstelveen
• Stadshart Amstelveen shopping centre, Rembrandtweg 41a, 1181 GE Amstelveen
• Etos, Binnenhof 62 A, 1181 ZJ Amstelveen

When you hire a campervan in Amsterdam, it’s not possible to camp in the city centre, but luckily there are many campsites outside the city that are set in beautiful countryside or right on the water.

• Camping Amsterdam Gaasper, Loosdrechtdreef 7, 1108 AZ Amsterdam – Situated in green woodland and ten minutes from the nearest metro station by foot for easy connection to the centre of Amsterdam.
