Transport to the Netherlands

Are you planning a holiday in the Netherlands or are you going there for a new job? Whatever the reason for your trip, you want to get there safely, comfortably, and without too much hassle. When choosing your method of transport, you need to strike a balance between cost, comfort, and efficiency. 

Before we talk to you about prices and the time you'll spend on the plane, coach, or in your car, here are some important things you need to know about all methods of transport to the Netherlands.

Important things to remember about international transport methods

To help you make a comparison and choose a travel method that suits you, here are the defining elements for each of the means of transport we will discuss in this article. 

• Traveling by train - If you will be traveling long distances, the train is a pretty good option as you get to see different countries and admire the architecture of cities and it is also a fairly comfortable and affordable method of transport. The downside would be that it is probably the slowest of all.
• Plane - The fastest means of international transport. However, although you don't waste any useful time traveling, it is also quite expensive.
• Bus/Coach - Coach is effective for short distances, as the comfort level is not the highest, and if it is very crowded, the experience is not very pleasant. 
• Personal car - You are more flexible in terms of time spent on the road and the route was taken to reach your destination. On the other hand, the costs are quite high for fuel and for rented cars the costs increase even more.

Hiring through DB Work gives you a very important advantage, as our team offers you free transport to the Netherlands. See more advantages and details here.

International transport to the Netherlands by train

With a low price, a high level of comfort, and no worries about the route, international transport by train to the Netherlands can be an experience, not just a stage you want to get through quickly. Here is a list of some additional disadvantages that occur when traveling long distances via train:

• Limited route options and schedules, which may make it difficult to plan a trip
• Limited comfort and amenities, especially in economy class or on older trains
• Delays and cancellations, which can disrupt travel plans and cause inconvenience
• Higher cost compared to other forms of transportation such as bus or car
• Limited space for luggage and personal belongings
• Traveling with a pet can be difficult

Air travel

When it comes to air travel, efficiency is maximized, but costs can be quite high, which is why it is important to strike a balance between the two. If you choose efficiency, you have to be prepared to pay the price. So here are some advantages and disadvantages of air travel.

• Speed - Airplanes are able to cover long distances quickly
• Comfort - Many airlines offer comfortable seating and in-flight amenities 
• Cost - Airfare can be expensive, especially for last-minute or peak-season travel
• Limited space for luggage and personal belongings
• Delays and cancellations - Your plans can be disrupted by such inconveniences
• Traveling with pet can be complicated

Coach

For many employees who choose to work in the Netherlands through DB Work, coach travel is never among the first choices. Firstly because DB Work provides air travel and secondly because of the lack of comfort and the unpleasant experience that such a journey gives you. But to be positive, here are some benefits of coach traveling:

• Cost - Coach travel is often less expensive than other forms of transportation
• Convenience - Widely available, and can be a convenient option for traveling to destinations that are not easily accessible.

Personal car

Traveling by car gives you great flexibility. You can choose the route you want, take as many breaks as you like, and visit the towns you pass through on the way. However, the responsibility of driving your car is an important factor, not to mention the high fuel costs. 

As far as costs are concerned, you should also be aware that you will be paying motorway tolls and vignette fees for each country on the road. 

Don't forget that employment through DB Work guarantees you that transport to the Netherlands is completely free, so don't wait any longer and contact us to sign your new employment contract.
