Our Story
Pontypridd Vehicle Rentals began as a small family business with just five vans and a commitment to providing honest, reliable service to the local community. Founded by lifelong Pontypridd residents David and Rhian Evans, the company was born from a simple observation: the area needed a vehicle hire service that truly understood the needs of local people and businesses.
From these humble beginnings, we've grown to become one of South Wales' most trusted vehicle rental providers, with a diverse fleet of over 100 vehicles ranging from compact cars to 44-tonne trucks. Despite our growth, we've remained true to our roots as a family-owned business with deep connections to the Pontypridd community and the wider Rhondda Cynon Taf area.
Our team of 15 dedicated staff continues to deliver the personalized service that has been our hallmark since the beginning. Many of our customers have been with us throughout our journey, returning time and again because they know they can count on us for quality vehicles and exceptional care. We're proud to be a Welsh business supporting other Welsh businesses and individuals with their transportation needs.
Our Commitment to Wales
As a proudly Welsh company, we're committed to supporting our local economy and community. We employ local staff, work with Welsh suppliers whenever possible, and actively participate in community initiatives throughout Pontypridd and the surrounding areas. From sponsoring local sports teams to participating in charity events, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.
We also take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Our fleet is regularly updated to include more fuel-efficient vehicles, and we're gradually introducing hybrid and electric options as part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. We believe that being a responsible business means looking after the beautiful Welsh landscape that surrounds us.
Our dedication to customer service has earned us numerous accolades, including the "Best Vehicle Hire Company in Wales" award at the 2022 Welsh Transport Awards. But more important than any award is the satisfaction of our customers and the relationships we've built within our community. When you choose Pontypridd Vehicle Rentals, you're not just hiring a vehicle – you're supporting a local business that cares about providing the best possible service to its neighbors.
