Dash Drive, the vehicle rental arm of the Dash Group, has opened its second site in the South West.
Located in Plymouth, the new site builds on the company’s first location in Redruth, marking a milestone in its expansion across the region.
Strategically positioned to serve Plymouth, East Cornwall and the wider South West region, the new half-acre site offers short- and long-term vehicle hire for businesses and individuals.
The 200-strong fleet includes cars, vans, minibuses, tippers, refrigerated vehicles and fully charged electric vehicles, catering for a diverse customer base, from families and SMEs to construction firms and the film and TV industry.
Since its launch in 2011, Dash Drive has grown steadily, driven by rising demand for flexible, community-focused rental solutions, and is on track for a £3m turnover this year.
As a member of both the United Rental Group and the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), the business combines the buying power of national providers with the personalised service of a trusted local operator.
Paul Dash, operations director at the Dash Group, commented: “Opening a second Dash Drive site has long been part of our vision. With rising demand in the region, we saw an opportunity to bring something new to the local area. Whether it’s a tradesperson needing a van, or a business looking for a flexible fleet solution – we’re proud to bring our trusted service to a wider customer base.”
The launch of the Plymouth site forms part of the Dash Group’s broader growth strategy, which includes the development of a new, larger vehicle workshop and continued diversification across its logistics and vehicle services.
The group’s long-term ambition is to replicate its multi-service model in key locations across the South West.
