MWB Hi-Top

I rented the Vauxhall Boxer from Abacus in Ferndown, admittely I made an error on the booking but the staff were more than happy to correct it for me.

The van itself was clean, had a supply of bin bags in, in case I needed them and was well looked after. Dents from previous drivers were clearly marked on the sign-out sheet and despite never having driven a van of this size before handled well on a day run to Honiton and back. On board sat nav was updated and useful and overall was very impressed with the vehicle and customer service.

Motorhomes Hire

Abacus provides Cars, Vans, Trucks, Minibuses, MPVs & Motorhomes for hire. We are a family owned and run business which has been trading for 30 years.

The company now operates 650 vehicles which cover a wider and more diverse range than most other rental companies.

We operate from two “super” depots located in Ferndown near the Dorset/Hampshire border and in Andover, Hampshire which benefits from being on/near the main arterial road network for the South of England.

We continue to provide the best service from the best premises with the best facilities in the industry, which I hope reflects on the standard of vehicle and customer service we strive to provide.

What Our Customers Say

I've been hiring your vans regularly for three years to move building materials and all our belongings to our renovation project in Brittany. All of the vehicles have been of an excellent standard and are fun to drive, the service is always efficient and helpful at Andover. I am particularly impressed with the organisation of the collection, drop off and administration areas and assume this is backed up by a great vehicle maintenance and preparation team. The ability to collect vehicles on the evening before hire period and drop off early the day after hire has made the costs great value too. I'm now moving permanently to France and so want to pass on my thanks to the whole team at Abacus.

Andy Crabtree

Customer
I hired a van Saturday for my lad’s house move in Chichester. Superb van, beautifully clean, great service, administration, customer care - the whole experience. 5 star. You guys do an absolutely fabulous job. No-one else comes close. All the best - and well done indeed to all at Abacus.

Jeremy Utton

Customer
Abacus have supplied our rental vehicles for many years and we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. The team are efficient and professional and their fleet of vehicles updated regularly. They offer superb, flexible service with a very friendly approach.

Frances Bawden

Head of Operations
Having Abacus on our doorstep is a real lifesaver for us, they are always able to help us and deliver a fantastic five star friendly service.
