With Rhinocarhire, explore Leeuwarden and its surroundings with ease and flexibility.

Benefits of Hiring a Car in Leeuwarden with Rhinocarhire:

  1. Exploration Freedom: While Leeuwarden's city center is compact and walkable, having a car allows you to venture beyond, exploring Friesland's picturesque countryside, lakes, and villages.

  3. Parking: The city offers several parking garages and areas. Some popular ones include Oldehove and Zaailand.
