Bike Rentals and Tours in Amsterdam
Renting a bike in Amsterdam is a fun and cheap way to see the city and the surrounding area. You can either rent a bike and ride around yourself or take one of the guided tours on offer. This article lists a few of the major bike rental / bike tour companies in Amsterdam... |
Renting a bike (fiets verhuur) is straight forward and will set you back around €10 for a day rental, or cheaper per day if you rent for a longer period. Theft insurance is charged at around €3 supplement per day. You will generally need to leave a form of ID, a deposit (€50-€200) or a credit card number. Some rental companies mark their bikes with logos whilst others have unmarked bikes.
There are a number of rental outfits around the city, prices are similar and delivery is sometimes possible. A few companies also offer guided tours which can be a great way to discover the city/region with an experienced local guide.
