Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices
Bookingauto (Rotterdam) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Rotterdam can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Rotterdam on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mini Couper Cabrio from us, starting at €103 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Rotterdam. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes Viano might be best - from €56 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 7 Series for €79 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Seat Leon for just €16 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

Car rental price in Rotterdam by month
During the high season in summer, car rental in Rotterdam costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Mercedes C Class popular in Rotterdam costs €36 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €11 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Mini Couper Cabrio will cost €103 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Rotterdam is the Seat Leon. The rental price for such a car starts from €16 per day from sixt.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a BMW 7 Series costs about €79 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Renault Kaptur at this time can be rented for just €39 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Rotterdam, you can easily rent a BMW 8-series to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.

These additional rules apply to all bookings:
If the online payment sum is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.

If the car was booked with an additional insurance product, the policy will be automatically ended upon cancellation. The issue of reimbursement is resolved within the framework of the cancellation policy provided for by the terms of the insurance product.

Answer: You can pick up a car in Rotterdam and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.
