We're staying at the Intercontinental and I don't know if we will want a car for intra-Amsterdam travel and if there is anything for us to be travelling to during the day that woul require a car? Thanks.
Never, ever rent a car for travel within the city of Amsterdam. Parking costs 4 euro per hour, trams, bicycles and pedestrians will drive you crazy, your travel time will be longer than when you walk or take public transport. Amsterdam is a very walkable city and for longer distances just rent a bicycle.
