WE ARE BRISTOLIANS
For decades, we have been loyal customers of Bristol Car & Van Hire. This brand has been a part of our lives, and witnessing its decline, we felt compelled to step in - not just for our own benefit but for the entire community's as well. We're revitalizing the company: expect better vehicles, improved availability, and top‑notch customer service, all while keeping our prices the lowest in the city.
Bristol Car & Van Hire is getting ready to make you proper chuffed!
Just around the corner from Southmead Hospital
Avoid the hassle of travelling to the pickup and from the drop-off point. Rent a car or van within walking distance of your home instead.
We're local.
We are near you.
We are transparent.
What you see below is what you pay.
Many rental companies will only show you the cheapest (longest term) prices or exclude VAT, so you only see the real cost at checkout.
No tricks, no hidden costs,
no nasty surprises!

Optional Costs & Fees
All vehicles are covered by an extensive policy unless the hirer uses their own insurance. The insurance excess is £500 for cars and £1000 for vans. This excess can be reduced by 50% for a small fee of £20 for cars and £30 for vans.
You can add an extra driver for just £25 for the entire rental period.
We apply mileage charges only to our short-term rentals. For distances exceeding 250 miles, the rate is 10p per mile (plus VAT).
If a hired vehicle is returned with excessive dirt or mud on the exterior, dirty or stained interior seats, carpets, or surfaces, spilled food or drinks, or strong odors (including signs of smoking or vaping), the renter will be required to pay for valeting. The charge is a minimum of £50, depending on the cost to restore the vehicle to its original condition.
If any fines or penalties are incurred during the rental period, Bristol Car & Van Hire will pay these on behalf of the renter. The renter agrees to reimburse the company the full amount of the fine plus a handling fee of 25%. This handling fee covers the administrative costs and the VAT that the company must pay on these fines.
"Great value, flexible and very helpful; I especially appreciated how understanding the manager was."
Fiona Russell
"I've used this company for many years. (...) I was introduced to them when another company let me down. It's the best thing that ever happened and I've never looked back."
