The Netherlands is a flat country with excellent roads that so far have no tolls. Driving a car rental in the Netherlands will be mostly stress free and in the South you will find beautiful routes through the fens and forests. Parking can be a difficult in built up areas, to park in a blue zone you need to buy a permit at a gas or police station. On the spot fines are typical if you are caught committing a traffic offense.

• You should not use your horn unless there is extreme danger, as an alternative, flash your lights at night.
