Oscar Car Rental in Almere

Your own car is in the garage for a service, and you simply need a vehicle that day. Or you've bought something that just doesn't fit in what you normally drive. A rental car in Almere solves the problem, without tying you down to anything long-term.

Almere is a city built around the car: wide roads, spacious neighbourhoods and business parks that aren't always easy to reach by public transport. That makes a rental car particularly relevant here, especially when your own vehicle is temporarily unavailable or when you need to transport something that doesn't fit in a regular passenger car. Every rental period with Oscar includes up to 100 kilometers per day. If you know in advance that you'll be driving more, you can add extra kilometers when booking. This works out cheaper per kilometer than paying afterward. Passenger cars are available from €40 per day. If you book multiple consecutive days in a single booking, you automatically receive a lower daily rate. This discount only applies when you book the full period in one go. Cancellation more than a week before pickup is free; closer to pickup, standard cancellation conditions apply. Every booking also includes 24/7 roadside assistance. If you break down on the road, professional help is available at no extra cost.

At pickup, you and the local Oscar partner's staff member walk around the vehicle together. Any existing damage is noted before you leave, so there is no ambiguity about what was already there when you return the car. Bring your valid driving licence, ID and debit or credit card when you pick up. Cash payment is not possible. A deposit is reserved on your debit or credit card at pickup. The amount depends on the vehicle type and your insurance choice. The deposit is released once you return the vehicle in the same condition. Please note that additional costs may arise from: extra kilometers beyond the included amount, missing fuel, a dirty car at return, traffic or parking fines during your rental period, or late return. The digital contract is completed during the booking process, so the handover at the location is quick. Smoking and pets are not permitted in the vehicle; a cleaning fee will be charged if the vehicle is returned dirty. Return is at the same location unless otherwise agreed in advance. Coordinate your return time with the partner's opening hours. Returning outside opening hours via a key safe is possible by prior arrangement. If you have questions during the rental period, customer service is available by phone, email and chat.

Whether you need to transport something small or travel with a larger group, what matters is that the vehicle suits what you need that day. Below you'll find an overview of the available categories and what to consider when making your choice.

A passenger car is the most requested category, and for good reason. For trips around Almere itself or to a neighbouring municipality, a small car is convenient: easy to park and economical to run. If you're heading further into the region or want a more comfortable ride on longer distances, a mid-size or large car is a better choice. It's worth thinking ahead about the expected distance: if you know you'll be driving more than 100 kilometers per day, it makes sense to add extra kilometers when booking. Passenger cars are available from €40 per day.

A van is the right choice when you're transporting items that need to arrive dry, clean or undamaged. The enclosed cargo area provides protection against weather and theft, which is a practical advantage when making multiple stops or on longer trips. Small and mid-size vans are the most widely available and suitable for most situations where a passenger car falls short. Large vans are less versatile but offer considerably more load volume when that's what you need. Van prices start from €69 per day.

Almere has many new-build neighbourhoods and an active housing market, which means moves happen here regularly. A moving truck lets you transport more in fewer trips, saving time and reducing the pressure of the day. Plan generously: a move that runs over schedule will cost you extra if you return the vehicle late. Moving trucks with a loading ramp are helpful for heavy or awkward furniture. Keep in mind that a moving truck demands more driving experience, especially when manoeuvring on narrower streets. You can rent a moving truck from €125 per day.

When you're travelling with a larger group, a minibus is far more practical than two separate cars with two drivers trying to keep track of each other. You travel together, you arrive together, and you don't have to manage the logistics twice. This is relevant for family outings, sports clubs or colleagues heading together to a location outside Almere. When booking, factor in the amount of luggage: more luggage means less space per person. A minibus is available from €105 per day.

Almere is located in Flevoland, a province that was purpose-built and where the infrastructure is designed for car use. The motorway connection to the Randstad is good, but for many destinations in the surrounding region, a car is simply the fastest and most flexible way to get around. Think of business visits to neighbouring municipalities, or a trip to a larger city in the region for appointments you'd rather not combine with public transport. For freelancers and small businesses in Almere, a rental car is also a practical solution when your own vehicle is in the workshop or temporarily unavailable. You only pay for the days you need the vehicle, without tying up capital in a company car that isn't always in use. Every rental period includes the Basic insurance. The excess and deposit depend on the vehicle type and the level of cover chosen. If you want to reduce the excess or deposit, you can opt for Premium or Premium Plus insurance during the booking process. The exact amounts are shown during booking. Please note: damage to the roof of the vehicle is not covered, regardless of the insurance option chosen. Customers who have rented a car with Oscar rate the experience 4.6 based on 1,450 reviews. These are experiences from people who have gone through the entire rental process, from booking to return. If you have questions about which vehicle best suits your situation, get in touch by phone, email or chat.

You now know what's included: up to 100 kilometers per day, Basic insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance and a digital contract you complete in advance. At pickup, bring your driving licence, ID and debit or credit card. If you want extra kilometers or more extensive cover, you can add these during the booking process. Oscar has more than 2,544 cars available across the Netherlands, with passenger cars starting from €40 per day. Choose your period, select the vehicle that fits your needs, and book directly.
