I was considering a day

I was considering a day trip in the car across the border into Germany and was told there would be no extra charge for this. However, at the Europcar desk the staff said there would be charge... so it seems you have to keep asking the same thing twice to be fully in-the-know! Energy-sapping experience.

Location information for Alkmaar

Introduction

Alkmaar is mainly known for its cheese. Every Friday the traditional cheese market is held with men dressed in white costumes and straw hats who carry the big cheeses on stretchers to the scales. But Alkmaar also has a beautiful historical center with canals, courtyards, churches and other monuments.

Population

Alkmaar has almost 95,000 inhabitants.

Location

Alkmaar is located in the north of the province of Noord-Holland, in the northwest of the Netherlands. The city is situated directly behind the dunes with only a few kilometers west of the city the beaches of Egmond aan Zee and Bergen aan Zee. In a straight line, the Dutch capital Amsterdam lies 30 kilometers south of Alkmaar (over 40 kilometers by road).

Economy

Provision of services is the main economic activity in Alkmaar. It's also an important shopping city. Cheese plays a minor part, except for the tourists who are drawn in by the weekly cheese market. For that matter, many inhabitants of Alkmaar work outside the city, in for example Haarlem or Amsterdam. Alkmaar is a typical commuter city.

Airports

Alkmaar has no airport. The nearest airport is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport which is easily reachable via freeway A9 (and then at the junction Badhoevedorp the A4 in the direction of The Hague).

Public Transport

The city has good public bus transport. All buses leave from the main train station in Alkmaar. In addition to destinations within the city several buses run to towns in the vicinity.

Traffic and Parking

Street parking is relatively expensive in Alkmaar and it's also difficult to find a free parking place. Fortunately there are many parking garages in and around the center where you can safely leave your rental car and which are also cheaper than street parking. There are also three P+R areas on the verge of the city where you can park your rental car and then travel to the center by public transport.

Hotels

There's a limited choice of accommodations in the city itself. There are some smaller hotels and two large ones: Golden Tulip and Hotel de Palatijn. Guesthouses, hotels and holiday resorts can be found mainly in the seaside resorts Egmond and Bergen, a few kilometers west of the city.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
