We recommend driving to the Interparking IJdok or Willemspoort parking garage and parking your car there. This is cheaper than parking on the street and only an 8-minute walk from our boat rental. Do you want to combine boating with a day in Amsterdam? This is also an ideal place to park your car due to its central location. The parking garages are both within walking distance of the canal belt, Amsterdam Central, and many other attractions. The address of the IJdok parking garage is IJdok 33, 1013 MM Amsterdam, and the address of the Willemspoort parking garage is Haarlemmer Houttuinen 549, 1013 GM Amsterdam.
