DORSET VEHICLE RENTALS...the company

Dorset Vehicle Rentals is a local family run company, which started in Dorchester nearly 15 years ago by husband and wife team - Paul and Claire Proudley with just six vehicles.

Over the years the company has gradually expanded, introducing it own Service Centres (in Weymouth and Dorchester) and Bodyshop (in Dorchester) - servicing and maintaining the ever expanding fleet of hire vehicles to the highest possible standards.

Dorset Vehicle Rentals - Head Office, Central Reservations and Accounts Department is based in Dorchester, with five further Branches spread across Dorset, and Somerset.  These Branches are in Weymouth, Bridport, Gillingham, Wincanton and Yeovil. 

In October 2008, Dorset Vehicle Rentals introduced it first Main Agent - Anchor Hill Service Station,  at Holton, near Wincanton, in Somerset - they service the Castle Cary, Wincanton, and surrounding area.

In March 2009, Dorset Vehicle Rentals introduce the new Flexi Rental Pages to the Website - which is proving to be very popular with businesses not wishing to committe themselves to Contract Hire Agreements in this unsteady economic climate.  Businesses can choose from 3, 6 or a 12 month Flexi Rental Period - see the Flexi Rental Pages for a on-line quote.

In January 2010 Head Office moved from its existing site to a purpose built building (next door!) - the local press published a special feature in July 2010

Dorset Vehicle Rentals has been built on providing high standards of service at competitive rates to many companies with specific needs, and that is why customers of Dorset Vehicle Rentals come back time and time again.
