Seafront Southsea Gets Car Hire, Van Hire, Minibus Hire and Truck Hire From SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]
From Southsea Common and South Parade Pier to the shops of Palmerston Road, Southsea is now covered by SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] for self-drive cars, vans, minibuses and trucks.
SOUTHSEA, Hampshire – SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire] has extended its Hampshire coverage to Southsea, the seaside resort at the southern end of Portsmouth. Households, visitors, event organisers and local firms can now arrange car hire, van hire, minibus hire and truck hire through one self-drive provider.
"Southsea mixes seafront events, theatre nights and everyday city life," said James McNally of SDVH [Self Drive Vehicle Hire]. "A family might want a seven-seater for a day along the coast, a band could need a van to get its kit into a venue, and an events crew might need a curtain-sider for a weekend on the Common. Whatever the job, Southsea can now book it with one provider."
Seafront, stations and the M275
Two stations serve the area: Portsmouth & Southsea station and Fratton station. Main routes around Southsea include the M275, A3, A2030, A2047 and A288. Southsea Common hosts major events, and on selected event dates it is used for overflow parking, so seafront pickup points and event-day traffic are worth checking in advance. Southsea Castle, Clarence Pier and the Kings Theatre are among the landmarks and venues that can shape where a handover happens. In a straight line, Portsmouth is 1.6 miles from Southsea, Gosport 2.2 miles, Hayling Island 4.3 miles, Portchester 4.5 miles, Havant 5.9 miles and Fareham 6.6 miles.

One-way hire is available on most vehicles within the UK mainland for an additional charge, and European use can be arranged in advance, also for an additional charge.
