Car rental in Almere-Stad

Rent a car Almere

Almere has grown into a very large city in a short time. In a very short time, because it was only in 1976 that the first houses were built here. This is of course because Almere is located in Flevoland, the youngest province in the Netherlands. Would you like to rent a car in Almere to visit this province? Then you can do it here!

In the city centre

Almere does not have a great deal of history yet, but that does not mean that the city is not worth a visit. Almere was set up as a meandering city but because the city grew so fast, the suburbs and Almere City grew together. Other districts are called: Almere Harbour, Almere Wood and Almere Gate. Almere Pampus and Oosterwold will be added soon. In Almere you can find, among other things:

• Rijksmonumenten
• Oorlogsmonumenten
• Museum De Paviljoens
• Veiligheidsmuseum
• Architectonische hoogtepunten zoals de Citadel, La Defense, the new library, Schouwburg Almere en The Wave
• Kasteel Almere 
• Bioscoop
• Three theaters

Visit other cities in the Netherlands by car rental

With a rental car you can easily visit surrounding cities. Almere was built to be outside Amsterdam, but still close enough to go there sometimes. This turned out to be a success: in a short time Almere grew into the largest city in Flevoland. The capital of Flevoland, Lelystad, has not even half as many inhabitants. In the Netherlands there are only 6 municipalities that are larger than Almere. These municipalities can of course be visited from Almere. Below is the top 6 mentioned with the travel time per rental car.

Although you can also rent a car in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Tilburg, Almere is a good starting point. As shown above you can travel to a lot of cities in a short time. In many of these cities you can shop to your heart's content and enjoy the beautiful old buildings that can be found in the city centre, something that is obviously lacking in Almere because the city is not very old yet. Did you know that when you arrive by plane, at Schiphol Airport, you can be in Almere within 30 minutes! Are you fed up with cities and culture? The Markermeer, almost a stone's throw from Almere, is a beautiful piece of nature reserve. The IJmeer and Gooimeer, near Almere, are also worth a visit. If you prefer to go into the woods, you can go to the Soesterduinen near Amersfoort or of course see the big game in the Oostvaardersplassen around Lelystad. But of course the car rented in Almere continues on to the Veluwe or to the west, to the beach. You can literally go in all directions!

Choosing the right rental car?

At Driveboo it is very simple, because we have all the car rental companies with associated conditions for you listed. Which rental car you would like to rent in Almere is of course a personal choice. Are you going for a small and economical and mostly cheap rental car, or for ultimate luxury and choose a car that is equipped with the latest gadgets. Talking about it: often you have to choose which extras you want to include in your rental car. Think, for example, of a GPS-system. When there are several people in the car a larger rental car is necessary. Don't forget to ask how much space a car has for luggage. This can be disappointing! It is wise to rent the car before you need it. That way you can be sure to drive the right type of rental car, that you prefer.

Are you going to drive around in Almere with a rental car? Are you looking for the konik horses in the Oostvaardersplassen or do you want to get a breath of fresh air on the beach near Scheveningen?
