Regal Car Van and Truck Rental

18/09/2026

A proud moment for our family and the Regal Rental team.
The News & Star has shared the story of twin brothers Stephen and Matthew Davolls opening our new car, van and truck hire branch in Carlisle.
Regal Rental is family-owned and operated, with more than 20 years of experience behind us. Opening in Carlisle is an important step for the business, and the support we’ve received from customers and local businesses has been brilliant.
Thank you to the News & Star for featuring us, and a special thank you to Sophie Swain for taking the time to tell our story.
