Dorset Vehicle Rentals is a local family run company, which started in Dorchester in September 1994 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.
