* Some employees of petrol stations may tell you not to hitch in front of the station, where the pumps are. Finding a ride at the parking lot, or thumbing where the back of the station starts is not a problem. Keep petrol station employees for friends and avoid starting unnecessary discussions. Shell has internal guidelines to only allow customers on their property. A hitchhiker may therefore be asked not to talk with drivers in the forecourt of the station, but this rarely happens.
* When using trains in [[Netherlands|The Netherlands]], you can always travel at a discount rate (-40%). This works as following: Everyone carrying an OV-Card (public transport card) can bring three people with them at a discount rate. Just get into the train after buying a discount ticket and ask the first young person if you can ride 'with them'. They usually won't mind and will be interested to hear your stories. '''Be aware that this is only possible after 9.00 on weekdays. On weekends there are no limitations.'''
