Do I need to make a reservation at the bike rental with the I amsterdam card?
It depends on the bike rental. You can generally rent a bike with your I amsterdam city card without prior reservation. But if you want to be sure that the bike is waiting for you at the selected location, we recommend doing a reservation.
At A-Bike rentals you have to book a timeslot for your bike rental online.
Good to know:
At some bike rentals in Amsterdam you will have to show your ID and/or leave a deposit (€50 per bike), or leave a copy of your credit card.
