Can you drive a standard? If not, reserve well in advance because automatics are harder to get and are expensive. Edit: I see you answered this

Why do you need a car in Amsterdam? You can take public transport to get to places like Harlem or the tulip fields.

You def need one for Germany/Austria. However, I wouldn't get one until after the first few days. You won't need one while you are just sightseeing in Munich, which I assume is how you will start the trip.

You DEFINITELY do not need or want one in Paris. Just take the metro or taxis anywhere. The Paris metro is worldclass

Yep, standard isn't an issue as I'm used to them.

We're not staying in Amsterdam. Just using it or Brussels as the airport for that portion of the trip (depending on airfare/rental prices). We will be spending several days in the general area (Amsterdam, Brussels, Bruges, Hague, etc) and staying with family near Antwerp.

We plan on being in Munich for 2 nights, jus not sure if it'll be 2 nights immediately or split up. Definitely not a bad idea to just use public transit the first day (or 2) and pick up a car on our way out of the city en route to Salzburg.

Thank you for the info on Paris. We were leaning towards just using metro there as it'll mostly just be sight-seeing in the city with a couple tours.
