Vehicle Hire Requirements

Before you can drive your vehicle you will need to make sure that you are aware of what we need - take a moment to read what we will need from you.

Driving Licence Changes

Due to changes introduced by the government a few years ago you no longer have to keep the paper part of your driving license. We therefore require you to log in to www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence and make your driving licence available for us to see prior to your hire start. (But only valid 21 days before your hire start time.)

Q. What Identification will I need to bring with me?

A. You will need to bring with you your Photo Card Driving Licence and your unique check code along with an original utility bill, bank or credit card statement (dated within the last 3 months) or mortgage statement, council tax bill (dated within the last 12 months) and the credit/debit card you are paying with.

If your Driving licence is not at the same address as your utility bill etc. we can still hire to you but we will need to see 2 utility bills.

Q. What happens if all my bills are online?

A. You are welcome to login to your account on one of our computers and download a statement or invoice. We are very sorry but down to our insurance companies stipulations we are only permitted to accept official headed documents.
