Wedding Car Hire in Arnhem

Getting married in Arnhem: a city on the edge of the forest

Arnhem combines a lively city centre with plenty of greenery and changes in elevation, something you don't often see in the Netherlands. Park Sonsbeek lies close to the centre and has ponds, rolling meadows and old trees. The park runs into Zypendaal and Gulden Bodem, so you can drive a long, green route without leaving the city.

In the city centre stands the Eusebiuskerk, with a tower you can see from far away. Close by is the Duivelshuis, a historic building next to the town hall. On the south side flows the Rhine, with the John Frostbrug as a well-known landmark.

Driving around Arnhem and the surrounding area

What makes Arnhem special is that city, river and hills lie so close together. Within half an hour you can take photos in very different places, without long drives.

Rosendael and the Veluwezoom

To the north-east of the city lies Kasteel Rosendael in Rozendaal, with a park and a well-known shell gallery. A little further on begins the Veluwezoom, with the Posbank as its highest point: an open heathland landscape with views over the IJsselvallei. A drive from Arnhem through the woods to the Posbank is one of the most beautiful short routes in Gelderland.

Along the Rhine

The Rijnkade is wide and gives a urban feel with water. On the other side, in the Meinerswijk, you will find floodplains with a more rural character. That way you can capture both city and nature in a single afternoon.

Which wedding car suits Arnhem?

Because of the changes in elevation and the winding roads to the Veluwezoom, a car with some power is a good idea. An American classic with a big engine or a sporty convertible takes the hills in its stride. In Sonsbeek and at Rosendael, stately classic cars suit the old trees and country houses well.

Take a look at the overview of wedding cars in Gelderland for rental companies that drive in the region. If you would like a car that stands out on the hills of the Posbank, have a look at the American wedding cars. Ask each rental company to confirm that the route over the hills is no problem for their car.

If you are getting married in the river area south of the city, the wedding cars around Nijmegen are also an obvious option. The distance between the two cities is short and many rental companies drive in both. If you choose a classic car, do agree that the route follows the provincial road rather than the busy motorway, if that better suits the pace of the car.
