Why use Bayfield Vehicle Hire for your van hire in Telford?
28 Feb 2017
The answer to the question in the title is, put simply, because we are Driven by Quality. You may have seen our motto around the website and on our branded rental vans in Telford, and thought that sounds clever, but do they mean it? Yes, we do! We believe that top quality van hire in Telford should be accessible for everyone. It’s that straightforward. Perhaps you need a new transit van to temporarily add to your business fleet? Maybe you want a van to move house? Or even take overseas with comprehensive insurance and breakdown assist as standard? Whatever your rental requirements, Bayfield Vehicle Hire is here for you.

Where it all began

Jason King and Simon Platt set up their van hire firm in Shropshire in 2010. As customers of vehicle hire ourselves, we didn’t think that anyone was getting it quite right. The big national businesses all have nice new vehicles and (generally) smart, branded premises, but they can feel a bit impersonal. Especially those with a high staff turnover, where even if you hire every week, they still don’t know your name. They expect you to provide the same chapter and verse documents every time you hire and to pay large deposits, which may be slow to be refunded. As for getting hold of them early in the morning or late at night… no chance! At the other end of the spectrum, the local, independent vehicle hire firms often do a great job when it comes to personal service. But are the premises kept spic and span and the vehicles are sometimes older, more worn and not very fuel efficient?

To us, the gap in the market was glaring and the solution was clear.
