At the waterfront there are several restaurants and terraces to find something to eat or drink. In Utrecht, you can climb the 112-metre-high Dom tower and see many beautiful churches and other old buildings. And of course you can shop very well in the long shopping streets!

By rental car you can go to the Nedereindseplas where you can go for ski and snowboard courses or other outdoor sport activities. There is a huge variety of offers.

Extra's and tips for car rental in Utrecht

After choosing the right rental car, you are not yet ready to go. There are extras to choose from. For example, do you want to have a GPS-system and if so, which one? How would you like to have your car insured?
