Bayfield Vehicle Hire is Ely’s independent car and van rental company. We started back in 2011 with two cars, two vans, and just one employee. 

Our reputation for offering fantastic value, great service and spotless cars quickly grew and so did the business. Today, we offer a full fleet of new cars and vans for hire in Ely

This week, Bayfield Director Ed joins us to share what sets Bayfield Vehicle Hire apart and offer his top tips for renting a vehicle.
