Amsterdam is the main gateway, with Schiphol Airport only 20 km from the city ring road (A10). The country is compact, so one-way routes to Rotterdam, Utrecht or even Germany are popular. Weather stays mild, but plan around rain and low-emission rules.

Amsterdam has a milieuzone (low-emission zone). Diesel engines registered before 2009 are not allowed inside the A10 ring road.
Street parking is expensive and monitored. Overnight sleeping on public streets is illegal between 21:00 and 09:00.
Use Park+Ride sites around the ring road (Sloterdijk, Zeeburg) if you need day parking for vehicles over 2.1 m height.
The legal blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 per mille.
Roads along canals are narrow. Watch for height signs on arched bridges, some are under 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in).

Buy a disposable "Dagkaart" travel pass when using public transport from a Park+Ride location. Ticket inspectors check tickets often.
Cyclists have priority at many junctions. Check mirrors carefully before turning right.
Call 112 for any emergency. English is widely spoken by operators.
In winter, gritting salt can corrode vehicle underbodies. Use wash bays on the A10 ring road after snow periods.
