I am visiting relatives in Amsterdam area in mid June and contemplating lodging in either downtown or near the airport. I will need a car or similar service to visit relatives. That being said, a Sixt auto rental is approximately $25 per day, however, it is unclear if I can park downtown or if the parking fee would be unreasonable.

In the past, parking the rental car was very practical, though we did not visit downtown.

If I take the train from AMS to downtown (Centraal) and rent the car from a Sixt downtown, what hassles and expensesshould I expect from a parking standpoint?

Is there a better option? Thank you

Ideally, I would be able to rent a car for 3 consecutive days and park the vehicle in the garage from which I rented it from.

Is there a better option? Thank you
