The Vliegclub Schiphol is located at Schiphol-Oost, and have a really nice DA40 for hire. You pay a hefty annual membership fee, but that includes 10 flying hours and if you factor that in, the rates are quite reasonable.

Landing fees and handling fees at Schiphol are eye-watering though.

If you are going to be based at Hilversum, make sure you get a thorough checkout on your short field landings and take-offs, keep a close eye on your W&B and landing/take-off performance charts, and make sure you fly the circuit as intended. There's not a lot of margin for error at Hilversum.

Lelystad is one of the busiest GA airfields of the Netherlands, with multiple operators (both commercial and not-for-profit clubs) on site. The airspace is relatively uncluttered, with a long runway.
