About
Rent-a-Bike van Dam is located in Noordwijkerhout, a small town in the heart of the Dune- and Flower bulb region. It is very easy to experience the dune -and bulb region from here by bike. Every spring the bulb fields will change into a beautiful coloured sea of flowers. With seaside resorts such as Noordwijk, Katwijk and Zandvoort just around the corner and the historical cities of Haarlem and Leiden in cycling range. The Dune- and Flower bulb region is perfect to discover by bike. * During spring (mid March - mid May)you can also rent bikes from our shop at Keukenhof. We are located at the parking lot (Narcis) in front of the main entrance of Keukenhof.

Being in Holland and not taking a bicycle is like going to a restaurant without food.
We booked in place, for 1 day. There are many options (normal bike, electrical bike, mountain bike ... ) The price depend of your choice. We took the normal bike for 12,50€, it includes the bicycle lock.
When we picked up the bike the person brought us some recommendations and he was helping us to prepare our route. He is very attentive, friendly, and funny. All employees are also kind people! The bike worked perfectly and led us to tour the most beautiful places on the Dutch coast. I really recommend them.
If you have a car, they have free parking right in front of the place!
Note: To go to the beach we took route 80, 35, 6, and 31 to return 31, 86,43,42, 69, 75, and 80. Tha landscape is very nice and the routes are well demarcated.

The service is great, the guys who own the shop are very nice and communicative. I would recommend everyone to rent a bike here, if you're planning a trip to Holland/Noordwijk(erhout). E-bikes were perfect, fast and the battery capacity was great. Also the bikes look very nice, which is also a plus ;-)

NL: Een overzichtelijke en professionele website met een breed scala aan fietsen die worden verhuurd. De verhuur was goed vindbaar met genoeg parkeerplek. Fietsen zagen er netjes en onderhouden uit, reden erg goed. Eigenaar en medewerkers dachten mee in welke routes we konden doen om zoveel mogelijk te zien. Ze hebben een pechservice (waar we geen gebruik van hebben gemaakt gelukkig) en konden ze altijd bellen als er iets aan de hand was. Enorm aan te raden en een prachtige omgeving om te mountainbiken.
EN: Rent-a-bike van Dam has a clear and professional web site with a broad range of different bikes they rent out. The rental is easily traceable in Noordwijkerhout and has plenty of space for parking near them. The mountainbikes looked new and very well maintained. The owners and employees really helped us in finding which route we could take best to see as much as possible in the region. They have a roadside assistence service (which we luckily didn't use) and we could call anytime for questions. I would highly recommend this place. They are located in a beautiful region which can be discovered by bike.

In April 2017 we just turned up, hired bikes and were given good quality bikes. All the bikes available appeared to be the same quality. We rode for over 3 hours and returned the bikes with no issues.
The activity has become far more popular and the operation is expanding rapidly. I checked the website in 2019 and it looked fairly similar to 2019. We didn't know which day we would go to Keukenhof, so we didn't book bikes in advance.
When we got there in April 2019 we were able to hire bikes but some of our group of 4 got lower quality older bikes. We asked about the better quality bikes but were told you need to book those online. I cannot find on the website where it says anything about this. They wouldn't even swap the worst bike for the same type as another person in our group was given.
We made it around the flower fields and stopped off at a cafe for lunch, as recommend by the person at the bike rental. While at the cafe we realised we rented the bikes for 3 hours and had 30 minutes to return the bikes! The 3 hour time limit was not mentioned when we rented the bikes.
They really need to tighten up on their customer service. Rent the lower quality bikes last and state there is the option to rent for 3 hours or a full day. It will make the experience better for everyone.

Rented an e-bike for five days. That was a great experience. The procedure for (online) booking, collecting and returning the bicycle is very efficient. I was helped very friendly and enthusiastically with clear explanations and received a map with cycling routes that turned out to be really worthwhile. I received a bicycle bag for personal belongings for free. In addition, an emergency number that I could call in case of problems with the bicycle along the way. All well arranged. Finally, the bike rode great and everything worked fine.

I did the mountainbike challange on sunday with two friends. We had Jens as our guide. We did the mountainbike challange in a group of people at the age from 10 till 25. Jens made sure that everybody could do the course at their own level. We had a lot of fun. I would love to do the sunday mountainbike challange again! You see a lot of the area while having fun and being active. I would definitely recommend it!

We loved our day of bike riding, it was seriously the highlight of the trip! The staff were friendly and helpful and gave us good tips on what routes to take. We spent 6 hours going to the different fields and they were so beautiful it took my breath away. I wish we would have spent the whole day bike riding instead of going into Keukenhof afterwards, after seeing the natural fields and being away from people Keukenhof was too many people and just didn't do it for me. I would love to do this again one day.

I have rented from their Keukenhof location three times over the years.
Sam and the staff make it so easy to enjoy a bike ride past the flower fields.
You can reserve the bike on the Kuekenhof site with your admission or directly on the Rent-a-bike van dam site. If possible, reserve ahead of time to make sure there's a bike available and to speed up the process.
The short, medium, and long routes are well marker and maps are available.
It's VERY flat.
The bikes are in top condition.
I hope you are able to have your amazing time.
The "Tulip Experience" is worth a stop when you are on the ride.

Easily the best rental service we’ve used on holidays.
Even blagged a lift from their delivery driver to the shop 🤗
Brilliantly maintained bikes and extremely helpful staff. So polite that they even laughed at my Dad jokes that make my boys cringe.
The shop at Noordwijkerhout is close to the beautiful village centre with plenty of cafes.
It seems bikes rule in Holland, as I experienced cars stopping a roundabouts to let us across.
So many off the road tracks too.
We were a late for the main tulip season, but the scenery was lovely.
I’ll definitely use Van Dam again they make it so easy and fun to rent a bike.
Make sure you remember exactly where you park your bike. The last photo shows you why 🤣

Super nice guys and very efficient service! You can book the bikes on the website and they will have them ready for you. Because of some issues, we weren't able to book them and even though they found the perfect solution for us. You have a map with a route on it and it's also possible to scan the map to have it on your phone, so you can easily follow the main points to visit tulips, the sea etc. We will come back for sure and bring all our visits! Thanks!!!!

Do we need to reserve a tandem bike in advance? We will be going to Keukenhof in the morning on 20 April, 2023. We might want to take a bike ride in the afternoon. Thank you kindly.

Where to pre-book bikes for a specific dates and time?
Written October 2, 2019
We had pre booked our bike through the internet. The process is easy and efficient. Since we visited during peak time in April, it was essential. They ran out of bikes during the day. We picked our bike at noon after our visit of Keukenhoff.
Easy and efficient. Its possible to rent with no reservations, we saw several people doing it. We did not want to take the risk and this way we kept our schedule..
Reservation is easy so why not.

Hi. What time does the rent a bike open in the morning please? We want to avoid disappointment and get there as early as we can to hire bikes as I have read there is no pre-booking.
Many thanks :)
