New for Gillingham, Dorset: Car Hire, Van Hire, Minibus Hire and Truck Hire From SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]

SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] coverage for self-drive cars, vans, minibuses and trucks now extends to Gillingham in north Dorset, with Motcombe and Shaftesbury as neighbours.

GILLINGHAM, Dorset – SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] has expanded its coverage to Gillingham in north Dorset, not to be confused with the Kent town of the same name, so residents, rural businesses and community groups can now book car hire, van hire, minibus hire and truck hire from one self-drive provider.

"Gillingham has its own station and a ring of villages around it, from Motcombe to Marnhull," said James McNally of SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]. "A village fete committee might need a large van for marquees, a school leavers' group could book a minibus, and a farm contractor might be after a tipper truck for a busy week. We want Gillingham to be able to book every one of those with us."

Chantry Fields, the station and north Dorset roads

Official road guidance for Gillingham, Shaftesbury and north Dorset covers the A30 and A350, but the real route and any signed restrictions still need checking for the exact address. Gillingham (Dorset) station may be relevant for rail-linked journeys, with road access, drop-off and parking arrangements to confirm before travel. Dorset Council guidance describes the parking and vehicle-specific controls at Gillingham's Chantry Fields, while Shaftesbury coach arrivals and north Dorset town-centre destinations form part of the wider travel picture.

In a straight line, Motcombe is 2.5 miles from Gillingham, Shaftesbury 4 miles, Marnhull 5.1 miles, Stalbridge 7 miles, Sturminster Newton 7.8 miles and Child Okeford 8.8 miles.
