Transport 

Car lease especially for students
SSH cooperates with StudentCar. StudentCar is based on the principle of car sharing: you share a car with other students. You always have access to a car, without having to pay regular costs. StudentCar pays for the insurance, taxes and maintenance. You only have to pay € 2,50 an hour to use a StudentCar.

StudentCar is perfect if you need a car to carry a lot of groceries, go shopping or visit your friends. If you want to go to the beach or if you need to play a football or hockey match outside town.

At the moment there are StudentCars at De Uithof and MAX. If you’d like to have more information, please visit the StudentCar website
