Cycling Throughout The Netherlands

Does anyone have recommendations for bicycle rentals? I would like to find a company that has locations in various cities, perhaps even one that would allow me to cross over into Belgium, so that I may return the bike at point B as opposed to circling back to point A. Would such a company accept credit or should I plan on paying in cash? Thank you.

I cannot name one for you but I've seen a great many during my travels there. In the old days every train station in Holland had bicycles for rent that could be picked up and dropped off in the manner you write about, but I haven't done that since about 1988.

@willhaysnoe; It would really help if you can provide the name of at least one of the many bike rental companies you have seen that allow pick up in one city and drop off in another. Yes, there are many bike rental places in the Netherlands, but none that I know off or can find online allow the bike to be dropped off in another city, let alone in another country. But apparently you saw a great many. It would really help the OP if you can try and remember the name of at least one.

The bike rental system at the train station still exists, but they too specifically state that you must return the bike to its original location. Failing to do that means you will have to pay a fine.
