The Netherlands has an overall resident population that is estimated at 17.2 million. Yet, the country has over 22 million bikes. Bikes and public transportation are the cheapest means of transportation for those living in this country. Why? Because cars are considered extremely expensive for the average person in the Netherlands.
However, you’ll still find cheap and affordable cars in the Netherlands. Interestingly, these cheap vehicles are not popularly known cars and are mostly found in Europe and the Netherlands.
If you live in the Netherlands and are wondering about the cheapest car options to select from, here are the top five cheapest cars everyone in the Netherlands has been talking about.
