“You really don’t need to come to me for that,” reads the website of Adrem Car Hire under a photo of owner Frits Pieper. The homepage boasts the playful slogan in large letters: “We’ll make sure you get away.”.
This immediately sets the tone, because at Adrem, there's hard work and loud laughter. And the fact that this is a winning combination is evident from the fact that Adrem is opening its fifth branch in Venlo, in North Limburg, on 1 June 2023. This means that from that date – wherever you are in Limburg – there will always be an Adrem nearby. So, it's high time for a chat with Frits Pieper about how it all began 25 years ago.
‘It's very simple,’ Frits explains, ‘my wife and I started out in Maastricht with one car and one bus to rent, with an agreement to give it a go for five years. If it still didn't take off, or rather, drive, we'd try something else.
But it never came to that.
One car and one bus became more, and Adrem Car Rental grew into a thriving business. We now have a very wide selection of cars and vans that you can hire for short or
you can rent for a longer period, and no longer just in Maastricht. In 2010 we opened a second branch in Heerlen, and in the years that followed we established ourselves in Sittard, Roermond and now also in Venlo.
What is the strength of Adrem Car Hire?
‘Our strength, I think, lies in keeping things simple,‘ says Pieper. ’At Adrem Car Hire, we do what we say, and say what we do. This means optimal clarity for the customer, so they are never faced with unpleasant surprises afterwards. You often hear stories about people who have hired a car or a van somewhere and are then confronted with extra costs afterwards or, even worse, are held liable for pre-existing damage to a rental car. We don't like that at Adrem. Our communication is clear and open, and if possible, with a touch of humour, because we do like that!‘
And the customers too, that much is clear. With more than 3 million rental kilometres per year and over 12,000 rental contracts, Adrem Car Rental is one of the most successful
Car hire companies in Limburg. So are you moving house? Do you want to go out for the day with your entire football team? Or did your wife already drive off with the car this morning before you'd even woken up?
Whatever your transport problem, Adrem has the solution!
“We'll get you on your way,” proclaims the homepage of Adrem Autoverhuur in large letters, and that immediately sets the tone.
