Published on May 31, 2026
Introduction
Renting a Pocket WiFi Router in Amsterdam is one of the easiest ways to stay connected during your trip — but if you have never done it before, you might have questions. This step-by-step guide walks you through the entire process, from booking online to returning your device.
Step 1: Choose Your Dates and Plan
Visit our booking page and select your rental start and end dates. Then choose between:
- Limited Plan (€8/day) — For light internet users: maps, messaging, and occasional browsing
- Unlimited Plan (€14/day) — For heavy users: streaming, video calls, and remote work

Step 2: Enter Your Details and Pay Securely
Enter your email address and payment details. We use Stripe for secure card processing — your card details are never stored on our servers. You will receive a confirmation email immediately after payment.
Step 3: Pick Up Your Device in Amsterdam
On your rental start date, collect your Pocket WiFi Router at our pickup location. The exact address and instructions will be in your confirmation email. The device comes fully charged and ready to use.
Step 4: Connect Your Devices
Turn on the router. It creates a WiFi network — connect your smartphone, tablet, or laptop just as you would connect to any WiFi network. The network name (SSID) and password are printed on the device.
Tip: Up to 10 devices can connect simultaneously. Share with your travel group.
Step 5: Charge the Router Each Night
The router typically lasts 8–10 hours on a single charge. Charge it overnight using the included USB cable. This ensures full battery every morning.
Step 6: Return the Device
On your last rental day, return the device to the same pickup/return location before the closing time specified in your confirmation email. No need to print anything — just bring the device.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Rental
- Keep the router in your bag or pocket — it works through fabric and even inside bags
- Turn it off when not in use to extend battery life
- Use the Limited Plan for maps and messaging; save streaming for hotel WiFi
- If you are sharing with a group, designate one person to be the "WiFi keeper"
