Rotterdam - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?

Small. Gas prices are among the highest in the world and parking space is very limited. Buying a second-hand one here is probably better; Dutch are known for keeping their cars well-maintained. - Mar 2016


No rugged terrain whatsoever, so no need for jeep. Cars are expensive locally because of taxes, so check if you can import one tax-free when moving there. Service for most European and Far-Eastern brands is available, less for American cars. Gas is relatively expensive and parking space scarce, so small is beautiful. - Sep 2006
