It's going to rain all day. Where should we go from Amsterdam?
Choose a city whose highlights sit under one roof, and let the car handle the wet part. The Hague pairs the Mauritshuis with Escher in Het Paleis; Rotterdam has the covered Markthal and the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen; Utrecht has the Railway Museum and the Speelklok museum of mechanical music; Leiden has Naturalis; Haarlem has the Teylers Museum, the oldest museum in the country. Each is about half an hour to an hour and ten minutes away by car, and door-to-door drop-offs mean a minute from car to entrance. Six hours by the hour costs €390 in Business Class.

Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. During ADE week (pickups October 20 to 26, 2026) fixed ADE-week prices apply, shown before you book; promo codes cannot be used that week. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At an airport or an intercity station the first 60 minutes of waiting are free, elsewhere 15 minutes; after that waiting is charged per minute at the class's hourly rate (Business €65 an hour). Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup.
