From [[Amsterdam]] you will follow the [[A1_(Netherlands)|A1]] towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]] and [[Germany]]. Your best chance is to start at the official [[Liftplaats]] near the Amstel Station, or at the Petrol-station 300 meters further down that road. 15 kilometers further the [[A1_(Netherlands)|A1]] you will find a large petrol-station near [[Muiden]] (between exit 2 [[Muiden]] and 3 [[Muiden|Muiderslot]]). You can ask your drivers if they will pass that spot or even go further. The second petrol-station, called De Slaag, is just before the first exit to [[Amersfoort]] (exit 12). You will find also good spots at the entries along the highway as there is often a rather large [[on-ramp]] that you can use to thumb drivers.

When you crossed the border after [[Hengelo]] it changes into the [[A30_(Germany)|A30]], you will follow that road until you hit [[Berlin]]. You follow the road through [[Osnabruck]] and [[Hannover]]. The most tricky part is the first part since there is no petrol station before [[Osnabruck]]. If your driver goes into the direction of [[Bremen]] or [[Hamburg]], you can stay with them though and get off at the first service-station after [[Osnabruck]] to the North (!). This service-station has a bridge, and from the other side you can often find drivers going to [[Hannover]] or all the way to [[Berlin]].
Another option is the rest area ''Brockbachtal'' before Osnabrück, it's not a gas station but it can be quite busy at times (also because of lack of gas station on the highway). Additional, the on-ramp 18 ''OS-Nahne'' some kilometers further can be useful if your driver only goes to Osnabrück, there lots of traffic goes from OS to Hannover.
