A Car Hire Based in Bristol You Can Trust
How will you benefit from hiring a car from a local Bristol company rather than a behemoth corporation?
You will have our undivided attention. We can only stay alive in such a competitive market by doing our job exceptionally well and earning our customers' trust day by day. This is what we have been doing for 30 years and will continue to do for the upcoming decades.
100% Transparent - No Tricks, No Hidden Costs
Car rental companies often have a bad reputation for using misleading language and hidden fees. We don’t do that. Our prices are clear and upfront. Check our prices and hire a car for the advertised amount. Not a penny more.
Maybe the cheapest car hire prices in Bristol
We cannot legally claim to be the cheapest car hire in Bristol, but there's a reason why we believe it might be true.
Did you know that most car rental companies make a significant portion of their profit by buying cars at wholesale prices with huge discounts, renting them out for a short time, and then reselling them at market prices. We have a different business model: we get cars that are a year or two older than others' but we keep them in great condition. This way, we don't make you pay the surplus for brand-new cars, allowing us to offer possibly the cheapest car hire in Bristol.
No Deposit Required
We trust you as you trust us. There’s no need to lock up large amounts of money on your account just to rent a car. Just book and drive. Easy, straightforward, and fair.
Hire a Car With No Credit Card or Credit Check
Do you know the struggle when you want to rent a car but there's an issue with the credit card or credit score? Not with us. We are not a big corporation: we can afford to trust you and help you regardless of your credit status.
Various Discounts - Because We Really Care
This is another advantage of hiring a car from a Bristol company: we care about the local community. We have been here for 30 years and will stay for many more. People are important to us, which is why we give discounts to NHS workers, members of the British Army, local organisations, businesses, charities, sports clubs, churches, and more. Call us for more details!
Last Minute Same-Day Car Hire
Do you need to rent a car urgently? Call us! We are here to help and will find a solution for you.
Bristol Car & Van Hire is a family
We have customers who have been renting cars from us for decades, and we are proud to know many of you not just by name but by face as well. Always expect friendly and supportive customer service - this is what we excel in!
"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."

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.
12-Seater Minibus hire
Citroen Relay or similar
For larger groups or extended family outings, our 12-seater people carriers are the ultimate solution. Whether you're planning a group event, a team outing, or simply need more space for everyone's comfort, these vehicles provide generous seating and cargo capacity.
Experience the ease of traveling together, with the assurance of safety and comfort for all passengers, as you navigate through Bristol or venture further afield.

8 / 9-Seater Minibus hire
Ford Tourneo or similar
For groups that need more room than a 7-seater but find a 12-seater minibus too large, our 9-seater people carriers are ideal. These vehicles are perfect for medium-sized families or small team outings, offering a great balance of maneuverability and space.
Despite their spacious interiors, these carriers are more fuel-efficient than larger minibuses, making them a smart choice for navigating Bristol's streets or exploring further afield. Enjoy comfortable travel with plenty of room for everyone's needs.
Our 8-seater people carriers have automatic transmission and are priced the same as our manual 9-seaters.

Enjoy comfortable seating, smooth handling, and the convenience of ample space for everyone.
