Location information for Nijmegen

Introduction

Nijmegen calls itself the oldest city of the Netherlands: in 2005, the city celebrated its 2000th anniversary. In Roman times, the city was called 'Noviomagus', or New Market. Unfortunately, many old buildings were lost when the city was bombed in the Second World War, and during the following reconstruction of the city. Nevertheless, the city still has a lot to offer. In addition, Nijmegen is a typical student city. Each year the famous Nijmeegse Vierdaagse (a four day walking event) attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Population

The city has 160,000 inhabitants, among whom 10,000 students.

Location

Nijmegen is located in the east of the Netherlands, close to the German border and surrounded by hills and forests. Most of the city is built on the left bank of the river Waal, at the foot of a lateral moraine. At the other side of the river a new suburb arises.

Economy

The healthcare sector is heavily represented in Nijmegen. The Sint Radboud Hospital has an excellent reputation and the city's policy is aimed at attracting more medical companies, which would cooperate closely with the higher education institutes in Nijmegen (including the universities) to share knowledge and expertise.
There is hardly any industry. As a result, unemployment among the less highly educated is high. The city hopes if can solve part of this problem by encouraging tourism in the region.

Airports

To the south-east of Nijmegen - in Germany - lies Airport Weeze, which is used by low cost carrier Ryanair. The company uses the term 'Duesseldof-Weeze' to refer to this airport, although it is closer to Nijmegen.

Public transport

Nijmegen has a good bus network. Its city buses are exploited by Novio, while a different company - Hermes - provides bus transport to other places in the region. All buses depart from the square in front of the train station, or they make a stop there.

From the train station, two trains an hour depart for Utrecht and Amsterdam, while another two depart for Roosendaal, which has connections to Rotterdam and The Hague or to the Belgian capital of Brussels.

Traffic and Parking

Driving in Nijmegen is not difficult and you will have little trouble finding your way: all entry roads lead to the large roundabout in the center, the Keizer Karelplein. Near that square are the main shopping streets, which are car-free.

Around the center there are four indoor and seven outdoor car parks. The cheapest car park is located immediately on the other side of the railway. Via a tunnel underneath the tracks you will be in the city center within minutes. You can also park in the streets, but the parking meters do not accept coins. On Sundays and between 18 pm and 9 am, parking in the street is free (with the exception of shopping nights and shopping Sundays).

The city council wants to limit car traffic in the center. Taking the bike is encouraged. There are many cycle paths in Nijmegen, separated to ensure that the cyclists are not bothered by the other traffic.

Hotels

Nijmegen has a reasonable number of hotels. Around major events like the Vierdaagse, all hotels are fully booked. In addition, more and more people spend a few days in Nijmegen and the surrounding area. So book in advance at your favorite hotel.

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?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
