From Pilton to Bruton: SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] Brings Car Hire, Van Hire, Minibus Hire and Truck Hire to Shepton Mallet

Shepton Mallet, the Mendip market town near Pilton, Evercreech and Bruton, is now covered by SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] for self-drive cars, vans, minibuses and trucks.

SHEPTON MALLET, Somerset – SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] has expanded into Shepton Mallet, so households, farms, trades and event organisers across this corner of Somerset can now book car hire, van hire, minibus hire and truck hire through one self-drive provider.

Getting around Shepton Mallet and the Mendips

Shepton Mallet sits on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, with the Royal Bath and West Showground just outside the town and Pilton, home of the Glastonbury Festival, a short drive away. In a straight line, Pilton is 2.6 miles from Shepton Mallet, Evercreech 3.8 miles, Coleford 5.4 miles, Chilcompton 5.6 miles, Bruton 6.8 miles and Midsomer Norton 6.9 miles.

Somerset Council road guidance for the Wells and Glastonbury area, about 5.9 miles away in a straight line, covers the A39, A361 and A371 and describes restricted traffic in Wells and visitor access arrangements at Glastonbury Tor. Wells Cathedral and the Market Place are in that wider area too, and bus connections link it with onward rail interchanges. Those controls may not apply inside Shepton Mallet, so drivers should still check signed height, width, weight and loading limits for their exact address.

"Shepton Mallet is ringed by villages, farms and showground events, so the vehicle people need can change from one week to the next," said James McNally of SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]. "A family might want a seven-seater for a weekend away, a builder could need a tipper for a rural job, and a festival crew might book a minibus for the summer. Whether it is a quiet errand or a busy event weekend, Shepton Mallet customers can now choose from all four services."
