Car ownership among the over-75s has increased each year over the past ten years. On 1 January 2018, there were 437 cars in the Netherlands for every thousand persons aged 75 and over, up from 325 at the start of 2008. This means that car ownership rates among the over-75s were higher than among people aged 18 to 29, where the rate stood at 287 in every thousand inhabitants at the start of the year. The share of car owners among 65 to 74-year-olds has also seen a relatively sharp increase.

Car ownership rates are lowest among the group of 18 to 29-year-olds. Car ownership in this age group decreased for years, but has seen a slight increase again over the past three years, rising by 1 percent between the start of 2015 and the start of 2018.
