What will I need to hire a vehicle? A current full driver's licence held for a minimum of 12 months. You will need to provide your current driving license and NI number or a driving license check code.In general, we can hire out to drivers with 6 or fewer points on their licence (accrued over the past 5 years). In some cases however, if the offence was more serious, we may have to decline to hire.We also need two forms of identification. These must show the same address as your driving licence; for example, recent utilities' bills, bank or building society statements, all dated within the last 3 months. A passport is not acceptable as it does not contain your address. This also applies to any secondary drivers that are insured.We also require a credit or debit card. This will be required for the deposit and the hire charge, which will be taken at the time of hire. Please make sure there is enough credit available on your card. The card holder is required to be present.If the cardholder is not the hirer, please ring the local office first!
