Bicycle rack hire

Hire a bicycle rack for your event through Fietsenrekhuren.com. From a single row of racks at the entrance to tens of thousands of parking spaces at a festival site: we deliver, install and collect everything afterwards. You decide how much you want to leave to us, from the racks alone to a fully staffed bicycle parking facility. We operate throughout the Netherlands, and our racks are regularly deployed in Belgium and Germany as well.

In the Netherlands, visitors arrive at events in large numbers by bicycle. That is good news for the accessibility of your event, until there is nowhere to put all those bicycles. They end up leaning against fencing, blocking pedestrian routes and lining the verges, leading to complaints from local residents, emergency services and the municipality. A well-organised bicycle parking area prevents this. It also shapes the first impression: a visitor who can park their bicycle quickly and easily starts the day without frustration.

We rent bicycle racks for events of every scale. Whether you are hosting an open day or a sports competition with a hundred bicycles, or a multi-day festival where tens of thousands of visitors need to park their bikes, we have the right solution. You hire exactly the number of sections you need, for the duration you require.

In most cases, hiring is more practical than buying. If you organise an annual event, you only need the racks for a few days a year and are left with a storage problem for the remainder of the year. With bicycle rack hire, that problem disappears: we handle all storage, maintain the equipment and ensure everything looks immaculate on the day it matters. If you have a permanent location with an ongoing parking requirement, please visit fietsenrek kopen.

To be clear: our racks are designed for visitors to park their bicycles, not bicycle carriers for use on vehicles.

Not every event requires the same rack. That is why we offer several models, each with its own strengths. The Event® is our workhorse for festivals and events: 20 bicycles per three-metre section, lightweight in design and therefore quick to assemble and reposition. The Semi® is more robust and suitable when a temporary bicycle parking facility needs to remain in place for weeks or months, for example, during a station renovation or a municipal redesign project. For cycling events, there is the Sport®, featuring a lock on which the participant sets their own code and a construction that holds racing bikes securely without causing damage. The Bikehub® is modular and repositionable without any modifications to the surface, making it suitable even for vulnerable paving.

Looking for smaller quantities, or a neat presentation at the entrance? In that case, bicycle staples or bicycle platforms are often the better choice. All models, including their specifications, can be found in our models section.

Not sure which model is right for you? Send us the floor plan of your site and the expected number of visitors. We will calculate how many sections you need, advise on the best layout, and take into account emergency exits, pedestrian routes, and the access route for transport. This way, you will know in advance exactly what your bicycle parking will look like, and there will be no surprises on the day itself.

Setting up a row of racks is one thing. Ensuring that bicycle parking runs smoothly during your event is a discipline in itself. That is why, in addition to hiring bicycle racks, you can also place the surrounding organisation in our hands:

• transport: up to 24,000 to 30,000 bicycle parking spaces per trailer, meaning fewer trips and also available for delivery in low-emission zones
• installation and dismantling by our own staff, at a time that suits your schedule
• stewards to direct visitors to available spaces and manage the flow of traffic
• supervised bicycle parking and security
• paid bicycle parking, including on-site handling
• signage and wayfinding along the route to the parking area

You choose, for each element, what you handle yourself and what you leave to us, with a single point of contact for the whole operation. Many organisers start with racks alone and expand the following year to include installation and dismantling or stewards, as it reduces the demand on their own volunteers and minimises hassle. You can read exactly how the transport works on the service page. Clear agreements in advance, a single invoice afterwards, and a team that knows what it is doing throughout your event.

Bicycle parking at a large event involves more than just equipment. It is about knowing what happens when ten thousand visitors arrive to collect their bicycles at 11 p.m. all at once. That kind of knowledge only comes from experience. Our racks and teams have been deployed at events including Paaspop, de Zwarte Cross, Soenda Festival, Sail Amsterdam 2025, the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix and the Profronde van Roosendaal. You can find an overview at our reference events.

That experience shows in the preparation. If you want to hire bicycle racks for an event with serious visitor numbers, we provide a realistic assessment rather than a rough guess: how many spaces are actually needed, where the parking area should be positioned relative to the entrance, and how to manage peak moments on arrival and departure. Where necessary, we coordinate with the local authority and safety organisation, as they impose requirements on site layout at large events.

This approach pays off for smaller events too. A sports club organising its first tournament has different questions from a festival organiser, but the principle is the same: thorough planning in advance prevents chaos on the day itself. Would you like to know more about bicycle parking for your type of event? Visit bicycle parking for events.

You can request a quote via the form or by telephone, providing the date, the location and an estimated number of bicycles. If you do not yet know the exact number, we are happy to advise based on your visitor expectations and comparable events. You will receive a quote within a short time, clearly stating the model, the number of sections, the rental period and the transport costs. No hidden charges.

Once agreed, we plan the delivery. Our drivers and assembly crew are experienced on event sites and work around your schedule: if the bicycle parking needs to be in place a day early, we will build it a day early. Should your event require a permit that includes bicycle parking arrangements, we will supply all the information the local authority needs, such as the layout and the number of spaces. During the event, there is a single telephone number for any questions or adjustments, for example, if more bicycles arrive than anticipated. Afterwards, we collect everything and leave the site in good order.

This way, hiring bicycle racks remains a straightforward matter that is simply taken care of, leaving you free to focus on the thousand other things an event demands.

Would you like to rent bicycle racks for your event, or would you first like advice on the quantities and layout? Give us a call or request a quote directly. You will receive a comprehensive proposal promptly, and on the day itself everything will be in place as agreed. Is your event only a few weeks away? Please do get in touch regardless. Our schedule is often more flexible than you might expect, particularly outside the festival season. Looking beyond racks alone? Also read our page about bicycle parking at events.
