    This is mainly a UK forum, so it's going to be difficult to give advice for someone in the Netherlands where prices, taxation and fuel prices are going to be different.

    One thing to consider: Maybe it would be more cost effective for you to get a smaller petrol engined city car for day to day use, and just hire a larger diesel car for your summer holidays?
