Sustainability at DIKS

DIKS Autoverhuur, Jul 18, 2025, 12:00 AM

At DIKS, we believe in green mobility without compromise. That means: reliable service and an active contribution to a sustainable world. As a family business that has been looking ahead since 1949, we take the steps today that will make a difference tomorrow. From solar energy to smart battery systems, DIKS is all about innovation, efficiency and sustainability.

Together towards a green future

We continuously invest in smart solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future and look beyond just making our fleet more sustainable. Where possible, branches are equipped with underfloor heating, maximum insulation, upgraded roofs and solar panels. We heat and cool our locations via air heat and use insulating glass and acoustically absorbent ceilings. Everything to make your visit as comfortable as possible and to further reduce our footprint. From eco-friendly cleaning products to electric cargo bikes, we look for ways to make our operation greener every day.

Solar energy to drive our electric fleet

Our latest step? An advanced solar energy system, combined with powerful batteries of no less than 3 megawatts (MWh). With this system, the power generated by our solar panels is stored locally and used when we really need it, for example to charge our electric vehicles. In this way we make optimal use of renewable energy and charge our fleet green and efficiently.

Batteries that do more than store energy

Our batteries are smart and social. They not only store power for their own use, but also play a role in relieving grid congestion. This means that we use them intelligently: at times when the grid is under heavy load, we temporarily supply energy back or use less. In this way, we help keep the energy grid stable and contribute to a more efficient and reliable system in the Netherlands.

Sustainable mobility and ready for the future

Anyone who rents from DIKS makes a conscious choice. You can count on reliable mobility and the certainty that you are choosing a party that takes sustainability seriously. Whether you rent an electric (shared) car or choose another form of transport: behind the scenes everything runs on green power and smart technology. This is how we make sustainable mobility accessible to everyone.

We are proud of the steps we are taking, but see this mainly as the beginning. Together with our customers, we are building a green future. By investing in local generation, smart storage and energy management, we are creating a world in which mobility is not only economical and flexible, but also sustainable and natural.

Diks Autoverhuur is voor ons al +30 jaar dé partner als het gaat om betrouwbaar vervoer en vriendelijke no-nonsens service. Dank aan het hele team! En we doen nu zelfs mee aan de energie transitie met de nieuwe e-Berlingo's. Top!

From the moment we arrived, Wilson provided outstanding service! He was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. He made sure we had everything we needed, answered all our questions patiently, and made the rental process smooth and hassle-free. His warm and welcoming attitude truly made a difference. Highly recommend Diks, especially with such excellent staff like Wilson!

The strength of DIKS

Sharing was a part of DIKS from an early age. What started in 1949 with grandfather Diks and one loaned car, has since grown into a trusted mobility partner for car rental, car sharing, short-term lease and storage rental, with branches throughout the Netherlands. With a few clicks in the app, you arrange your ride quickly and flexibly. No hassle with ownership, but with all the freedom of sharing. Exactly as grandpa intended, but with a modern twist.
