How to choose a car dealer in Amsterdam

Most Dutch drivers buy second-hand rather than new, so nearly every listing on this page is a general or independent garage rather than a single-brand showroom. Before you visit one, look up the license plate of any car you're considering at rdw.nl, which shows its current APK status for free before you commit to a viewing.

Ask each dealer directly whether BPM, the Dutch one-time registration tax, has already been paid on the car, since an unpaid-BPM used car can end up thousands more expensive once it is registered in your name. Our guide to buying a car in Amsterdam covers the rest of that paperwork in more detail.

Comparing dealers on the same model matters more here than the badge on the showroom, since price differences usually come down to mileage, engine type and BPM status rather than the seller. If this is your first car in the country, our guide to owning a car in the Netherlands as an expat covers what happens after you drive off the lot, including insurance, road tax and the BSN requirement for registration.

Questions people ask

What should I check before buying a used car from a dealer in Amsterdam?

Confirm whether BPM, the one-time Dutch registration tax, has already been paid, since a car with unpaid BPM can cost thousands more once it is registered in your name. Also look up the car's APK inspection expiry date at rdw.nl using its license plate before you agree on a price.

How much is BPM, and will I have to pay it?

BPM is the registration tax charged when a vehicle is first registered in the Netherlands, calculated mainly on CO2 emissions. For gasoline and diesel cars it ranges from around 400 euros for low-emission models up to 5,000-15,000 euros for higher-emission ones, while electric vehicles pay a fixed fee starting at 667 euros. A car that already carries Dutch plates has normally had BPM paid already, but always ask the dealer to confirm.

What does the APK inspection cost and when is it due?

APK, the mandatory roadworthiness inspection, costs roughly 60-85 euros and takes about 30-45 minutes. A new car needs its first APK three years after its registration date, then annually after that, and you can check any Dutch plate's exact due date for free at rdw.nl. Driving with an expired APK carries a fine, and an insurer can refuse to pay out on a claim if the APK had lapsed.

How much is Dutch road tax on a car bought from an Amsterdam dealer?

Motor vehicle tax (motorrijtuigenbelasting) is based on the car's weight, fuel type and the province you live in, and is billed quarterly or monthly by direct debit once the car is registered. As a rough guide, a mid-size gasoline car can run 47-57 euros a month, with diesel vehicles costing noticeably more and older diesels carrying an added surcharge.

What car insurance do I need, and how is it different from what I'm used to?

Dutch car insurance is tied to the vehicle rather than the driver, and comes in three main tiers: third-party liability (WA), limited coverage (WA+), and fully comprehensive (all-risk). Without a Dutch driving history your premium is usually higher at first, though many insurers will credit a no-claims record transferred from your previous country if you can document it.

Do I need a BSN to buy or register a car in the Netherlands?

Yes, registering a car requires a BSN, the Dutch personal number, which can be a timing problem if you have just arrived and are not yet fully settled. Once you have it, registration itself adds roughly 50-70 euros for the license plates and about 35 euros for the registration process, on top of the car's price.
