Motorhome and Camper van hire in Amsterdam

Motorhome Rental Amsterdam

Amsterdam's roots run deep. Founded as a modest fishing village in the 12th century, the city has grown into an internationally oriented capital of entertainment, cultural events and world-renowned art museums. Amsterdam is best known among tourists for its picturesque canals, drawbridges, Red Light District and 'coffee shops' where no coffee is actually sold. 

Don't forget to visit Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, where you will find the lively Albert Cuyp market and the Rijksmuseum with its impressive art collection.

 Hire a motorhome in Amsterdam and drive to great places close to the city, such as the historic town of Haarlem and the photogenic fishing village of Volendam.
