Car Rental in Maastricht

Family car rental in Maastricht

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Netherlands traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, VW Passat, Volvo V50, Renault Scenic, Honda Accord, Peugeot 508 and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Maastricht borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Maastricht might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Maastricht!

Almost all paid parking lots are equipped with special machines that accept payments. Different parking lots can have completely different payment machines. Some of them accept payments in coins only, while other machines may accept only banknotes, and some machines are operated by special plastic cards. In any case, tourists are recommended to stock up on coins in small denominations and remember that parking machines do not accept banknotes in large denominations (50 euro or more).
Describing distinguishing features of local parking machines, we simply cannot fail to mention the fact that some of them may require to input some additional information (for example, the car number). Later, this information is displayed on the check that should be placed on the car’s windshield. In large cities, it is often permitted to pay for parking using special cards only. Usual credit cards may not be accepted in this case.
On Sunday, a large part of city parking areas work for free. Only parking lots located in the city central part usually remain paid regardless of the day.

Traveling in Maastricht with family car

Of course, the southernmost city of Holland is distinguished by special national features. Its residents cherish the traditions and customs of their ancestors. You will understand this if you visit the city during one of national holidays. Thus, Maastirht is the only city in the country where is organized Christmas market. For several days the city transforms into a colorful bazaar. During the days before Christmas the market is always visited by many tourists.

Each February here takes place a no less colorful celebration. Each year here is selected the Prince of Carnival, which is awarded with the key to the city from the hand of the mayor. During several days mass celebrations take place on the streets and squares of the city. Locals and tourists drink hot mulled wine and eat flavorful waffles, and nimble dancers and musicians entertain visitors and demonstrate their talents.

March is the time for conducting the world-famous exhibition of antiques. This event attracts collectors from all over the world. This is a very prestigious and important exhibition, so every European city would consider an honor to host such a massive celebration. Another distinguishing feature of the city is an abundance of marijuana. This fact is easily explained by the city’s close proximity to the border. Virtually every resident of Maastricht grows marijuana at home. The so called "greenhouses" are often located on balconies and attics.
