SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] now covers Dover, the Kent port town beneath the White Cliffs, with Whitfield, Guston and Temple Ewell on its doorstep.
DOVER, Kent – SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] has expanded its coverage to Dover, so households, port-side businesses, visitors and community groups can now book car hire, van hire, minibus hire and truck hire through one self-drive provider.
Dover is home to the Port of Dover, and official road guidance for the Dover and Folkestone area covers the M20, A20, A2 and A260. Those roads may not serve every exact address, so the real route and any current works should be checked before travel. Folkestone Central station, about 6.9 miles away in a straight line, may be useful for rail-linked journeys. Dover District Council guidance describes coach, minibus and larger-vehicle parking controls, so drivers of bigger vehicles should check signed height, width, weight and loading limits for the exact stop.
In a straight line, Whitfield is 1.8 miles from Dover, Guston 1.8 miles, Temple Ewell 2.3 miles, Ringwould 4.8 miles, Eythorne 5 miles and Shepherdswell 5.2 miles.
"Dover has the port, the A2 and the A20 all within reach, so the reasons to hire a vehicle here can be very different," said James McNally of SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]. "A family might need a seven-seater for relatives arriving on the ferry, a club could book a minibus for an away game up the A2, and a local firm might want a curtain-sider for a delivery run. Every one of those journeys can now start with the same provider in Dover."
SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] car hire in Dover includes the VW Golf, the Ford Mondeo Automatic, the Mercedes E-Class and the Ford Galaxy for everything from commuting to longer drives towards the M20.
Wedding parties, sports clubs and school groups travelling together can pick minibus hire in Dover, choosing the 9 Seater Manual, the Ford Minibus 15 Seater or the Ford Minibus 17 Seater, the two larger ones subject to licence and age checks.
Household moves and trade jobs are covered by SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] van hire in Dover, which takes in the Ford Transit SWB, the Ford Transit MWB, the LWB 6 Seater Crew Van and the Ford Luton Box Van with Tail Lift.
Heavier freight calls for truck hire in Dover, with the 7.5 Tonne Box Truck with Tail Lift, the 18 Tonne Box Truck, the 26 Tonne Curtain Side Truck and the 44 Tonne Sleeper Truck, where licence and operator requirements are met. For anyone planning to cross the Channel, European use can be arranged in advance, for an additional charge.
