Road Genius compares RV rentals across the Netherlands and the wider EU so international travelers can choose the best vehicle for their route. Most people pick up vans at Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam or Eindhoven airports and then explore the North Sea coast, the Veluwe forests and the Frisian lakes. Weather changes quickly over the flat land, so plan both outdoor and indoor stops.
