Car Hire, Van Hire, Minibus Hire and Truck Hire Arrive on Hayling Island as SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] Expands
Hayling Island, linked to the mainland by Langstone Bridge and a short hop from Havant and Emsworth, is now covered by SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] for self-drive cars, vans, minibuses and trucks.
HAYLING ISLAND, Hampshire – SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] has expanded into Hayling Island, home to 15,710 people according to ONS Census 2021 built-up area figures. Islanders, holidaymakers and local businesses can now book car hire, van hire, minibus hire and truck hire through a single self-drive provider.
One bridge, two harbours and the seafront
The A3023 across Langstone Bridge is Hayling Island's only permanent highway link, so disruption or peak visitor traffic can add time to any journey on or off the island. The island lies between Langstone Harbour and Chichester Harbour, and its seafront car parks and the ferry to Portsmouth mean pickup and parking decisions differ from mainland Portsmouth trips. The A27 and A2030 are among the main roads beyond the bridge, and south-east Hampshire routes often involve the M27/A27 corridor and port approaches. The seafront and the Hayling Billy Coastal Path are among the island's landmarks. In a straight line, Havant is 3.4 miles from Hayling Island, Emsworth 3.6 miles, Southsea 4.3 miles, Portsmouth 4.9 miles and Rowlands Castle 6.1 miles.
"On Hayling Island, the bridge shapes almost every plan," said James McNally of SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]. "A holiday-let owner might need a van for a changeover, a sailing club could want a minibus for a regatta, and a family might want a seven-seater for a beach day. We want Hayling Island to be able to book all four types of vehicle with one provider."
