Location information for Amersfoort

Introduction

Amersfoort owes its name to the river Eem, which used to be called the Amer. The city was founded at a fordable place in the river, which still flows through the heart of Amersfoort. The city is also called Rock City ('Keistad'), after the enormous stone that is located in the city. The presence of this stone is the result of a wager. In 1661, a nobleman betted that he could persuade the people of Amersfoort to drag a large rock from the Leusderhei to the city, which they did. Afterwards, he treated them to beer and crackers. Amersfoort has a magnificent medieval center, with the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Tower (in popular parlance: 'Long John') as the main eye catcher.

Population

The city has almost 140,000 inhabitants. In recent years, Amersfoort has grown enormously, because in the 1980's it was designated a growth city. Large new suburbs are witnesses of that. In 1985, the city only had 85,000 inhabitants.

Location

Amersfoort is located in the center of the Netherlands, at 20 kilometers to the north-east of Utrecht and at 50 kilometers to the south-east of Amsterdam. The city is situated at the edge of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. To the east is the Gelderse Vallei, and beyond that the Veluwe region.

Economy

At one point, Amersfoort had many beer breweries, but only one of them is left now, the Amersfoortse Stadsbrouwerij De Drie Ringen. These days, the service sector is the engine of the city's economy. More than a quarter of the population is active in this sector. The ICT sector also plays a role. A survey conducted by the city indicates that there also many 'creative' in Amersfoort: scientists, engineers, architects, television programme makers, journalists, musicians, designers, writers and artists.

Airports

The city has no airport, but it is located at only 60 kilometers from Schiphol. Small (business) planes can use Hilversum Airport, to the west of the city. This airport is used primarily for recreational purposes.

Public transport

Public transport is provided by Stadsvervoer Nederland. There are 10 bus lines, which are especially important to the people who live in the suburbs. The center of Amersfoort is navigable on foot. All buses start at Amersfoort Central Station. There you will also find the regional services provided by Connexxion and BBA.

The city is a railway junction. Thanks to its location, the city has excellent railway connections to other major cities in the Netherlands. The international train from Berlin to Amsterdam also stops in Amersfoort.

Cyclists can park their vehicles in the center free of charge(!) and supervised.

Traffic and Parking

Amersfoort is very accessible by car, at least outside morning and evening rush hour. To the north of the city is the A1 motorway (Amsterdam - German border), to the east is the A28 (Utrecht - Groningen). These motorways intersect at Hoevelaken junction. In the city itself it is also easy to find your way around, and usually it is not too busy.

A large part of the city center is open to pedestrians only. Around the center lies the so-called Stadsring, where you can park in the street, although that is fairly expensive. There are a number of car parks where it is not only cheaper to park, but also safer. The car parks are connected to the Park Route Information System. Road signs along the entry routes indicated how many spaces are still available in the various car parks.

Hotels

Amersfoort has a limited number of hotels, but generally speaking hotel rooms will be available, except during events like the annual Kei festival and the international ATP tennis tournament.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Rental the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
