Should you drive an RV rental into Amsterdam?

No. The center’s streets are narrow, crowded with cyclists, and parking is scarce and expensive. Stay at a campsite with public transport into the city, or use Park and Ride. See Amsterdam.

Where do you pick up a campervan?

In Amsterdam, at Schiphol, or at depots across the country including Utrecht, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. See Amsterdam pickup.
