Last Updated: 24th February 2025

The Solent 250, compiled by The Business Magazine, highlights the top privately owned businesses in the Solent region based on turnover. The Solent area includes key locations such as Poole, Southampton, and Fareham, where U-Drive continues to provide businesses with reliable vehicle hire, while also supporting businesses nationally. 

This achievement reflects our continued growth, resilience, and commitment to delivering exceptional vehicle hire services across the region. Notably, U-Drive remains the only vehicle hire company featured in the rankings. As a family-run and owned business for over 40 years, we have been proudly supporting the Solent area with reliable vehicle hire solutions, which is why this ranking is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. 

“Being recognised in the Solent 250 for a third consecutive year is a fantastic achievement for U-Drive. It reflects the dedication of our incredible team, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to providing flexible and reliable vehicle hire solutions.” said Mark Hamblin, U-Drive Director. 

“I’m looking forward to attending the Solent 250 Launch Drinks, celebrating this shared success, and strengthening connections with other local businesses.”
