History 

The company D'Ieteren was founded in the 19th century by the body builder Joseph-Jean D'Ieteren in Brussels. The company kept up with the development in the transportation industry and developed from the vehicle business to the industrial business enterprise.

 At the beginning of the 20th century, D'Ieteren began to produce bodies for export. Later we continued with assembly and import of cars and trucks.

After the Second World War D'Ieteren received the exclusive import rights for Studebaker (1945), Volkswagen (1948) and Porsche (1950). From 1954 the VW Beetle .

The car rental business began in 1956 with the rental of the Volkswagen Beetle on the Belgian market. In 1958 D'Ieteren got the Avis license for Belgium.
