KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Maastricht
- Car hire in Maastricht offers you a level of flexibility that you don’t get with alternative transport methods. Not only are you able to travel directly between locations, but you can also depart when you please without needing to wait for buses or trains to arrive. For example, you can drive to Riemst in about 18min. This same journey using a bus takes closer to 30min and also requires you to adhere to the bus timetable.
- Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST) is very close to Maastricht, so it’s an ideal location to collect your vehicle. After passing through immigration control and getting your luggage, you’ll find there is a great array of car hire companies to pick from. For example, Budget can be located conveniently in the terminal building, whereas you can get a free shuttle to companies like Hertz. Once you have shown your ID, paid and completed the necessary paperwork, your Maastricht car hire provider will take you to your vehicle.
- Using car hire in Maastricht, you will see that it is a busy city in the Netherlands that welcomes tourists throughout the year. In general, drivers are respectful and follow the rules in place. With there being no concept of jaywalking in the Netherlands, you should keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the street at will. Cycling is one of the most common modes of transport in the Netherlands. Whilst cyclists often have separate lanes from cars, there are occasions when the two must share space on the road. So, ensure you regularly check your mirrors for the safety of those around you.
- When driving a Maastricht hire car, you’ll notice the streets get very busy, especially when locals are travelling to and from work during rush hour. This tends to be between 7:00 and 9:00 and again from 17:30 to 18:30. If you aren’t a confident driver, then it’s a good idea to stay off the roads during these times. The N278 is one of the busiest roads in the city, with it passing through the heart of Maastricht. An alternative road you can take is Noorderbrug, which should be less congested.
- Book your car hire in Maastricht at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Aug 2019
Pros:
The car was OK. In marked contrast to Maastricht, drop-off in Amsterdam was good, fast, with friendly staff.Cons:
Reserved a car few days before pick-up so no surprise. They did not have the car class. They tried to force to take a car with cracked front window (!!!). Only after I told them I will not take the car and report them to their management they gave me an undamaged one. Sixt?! - Never again!10.0 Wonderful
