What types of cars can I rent in Groningen?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Groningen. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a great deal of room. They're especially suited to driving around cities. Getting into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Groningen?
There's loads to do in Groningen, but head further afield and you'll find even more magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • Amsterdam is about 145 kilometres from Groningen. Well-known tourist spots like Van Gogh Museum deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Next stop? It has to be The Hague, which is around 193 kilometres away. Scheveningen Pier is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
  • Euromast is around 209 kilometres from Groningen and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Groningen with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Groningen car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive away with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Groningen?
The minimum age is 18. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions you should know about before you book your Groningen wheels. If you're a younger driver, most rental providers will charge an additional fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between companies. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Groningen?
The main things are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Groningen?
Whether you're stopping in Groningen or heading off on a road trip around Netherlands, you'll be driving on the right. While this is obviously the same as the U.S, there will be some differences in traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Groningen?
Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every part of Groningen — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Groningen car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Groningen rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
