Petrol (Euro 95, E10 and Superplus 98) is widely available (if you want to fill up with E10, check the fuel cap opening, the manual or your car brand dealership if you can drive on it). Diesel and LPG are also widely available. The bayonet connector is used to refill with LPG. Fuelling stations are usually open between 7 am and 8 pm. In larger cities and on motorways fuelling stations are generally open 24 hours a day. There are also many that work in automatic mode at night and unstaffed fuelling stations in the Netherlands.

There are many charging options in the Netherlands; there is always a charging station nearby.

Cyclists may overtake vehicles other than bikes on the right. A pedestrian traffic lights that is flashing yellow (sometimes a triangle containing an exclamation mark) indicates that pedestrians may cross if there is no oncoming traffic.
Parking is not allowed next to a yellow line on the side of the road, among others.

A growing number of Dutch cities have environmental zones, including Amsterdam, Arnhem and Utrecht. The rules vary per location.

On a motorway, place your warning triangle at least 100 metres (elsewhere at 30 metres) behind the car if the hazard warning lights are not working and the car forms an obstacle to other traffic. All occupants are advised to put on a safety vest. If you breakdown, call the emergency number of your breakdown assistance insurer. You can also call the Dutch breakdown assistance service: +31 88 269 28 88 (ANWB).

Dutch campsites are among the best in Europe. Campsites are well organised and there is plenty of greenery. Cars often have to be parked outside the campsite, bringing more peace and quiet to the campsite. In the school holidays and weekends there is extensive entertainment for children and the amenities (such as indoor playgrounds and football pitches) are innovative.
ACSI has chosen not to include any star ratings in information about campsites in the Netherlands. Any stars you may see in advertisements are awarded by the campsites themselves, but ACSI cannot accept any liability for the accuracy of these star ratings. Many Dutch campsites have a so-called family rate for four, five or more people, including electricity. This means that two people often pay the same rate as an entire family. Additional charges for items such as tourist taxes and environmental charges are sometimes quite high. You are not allowed to stay overnight on public roads in your caravan, motorhome or car.
