A: When taking collection of your hire vehicle you need to bring with you the following:
Drivers Licence: All persons must produce a FULL valid UK Drivers Licence which they must have held for at least two years, 3 years for a minibus 9 seats and over. It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure that they have the correct licence. We are unable to accept any licence that is not in English. A Drivers Licence must be an original, a photocopy will NOT be accepted.
Generation of a Driver’s License Check code;
With effect from 8th June 2015, the paper part of the UK Drivers Licence is no longer accepted. If you wish to hire a vehicle from us using our insurance you will need to log on to www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence, enter your Drivers Licence Number, National Insurance Number and Post Code to generate a check code. This check code will allow us to view the paper counterpart of your Drivers Licence online so that we can check for any endorsements which might prevent us from hiring a vehicle to you. We recommend that you generate your check code shortly before your hire is due to commence as it is only valid for a maximum of THREE (3) weeks. On the day you have arranged to collect the vehicle, please ensure you bring with you both your UK Photocard Drivers Licence, the check code you generated as well as two other forms of ID as detailed below.
Identification:
All UK residents must be able to produce one additional form of ID, e.g. utility bills, Council tax bill or a bank statement must be shown, (dated within 3 months), together with a valid credit, switch or debit card in the name of the main hirer. Any additional drivers must be present at the time of hiring and must be able to produce a full valid UK Drivers Licence conforming to the above criteria.
All foreign driver’s licenses must be produced with a valid Passport/ID card.
