Hire a Car With a Conviction In France

Many people who drive vehicles will often find themselves left stuck and unable to collect a hire car because you may have been caught out and got a conviction on your licence whether it be an IN10, DR10 or CD10.

Well I can confirm that with every rental company if you have a major endorsement for Drink Driving or No Insurance then you will more often than not be able to hire the car due to the supplier’s restrictions and rules that are in place, especially if the conviction date was within the last 5 years. This is because you are seen as an insurance risk so the insurers of the rental companies don’t want to hire out cars to you.

However Indigo Car Hire is now proud to announce that we can now offer car hire with a conviction in France this is for any type of conviction. Everywhere else in the world and with all the other rental companies if you have a no insurance conviction (IN10), careless driving conviction (CD10) or drink driving conviction (DR10) dated within the last 5 years nowhere will be able to offer you a car. Indigo Car Hire has managed to negotiate a deal where if you are looking for a vehicle anywhere in France and you have a major endorsement on your licence then you can still get a car hire, this became possible when we managed to find somewhat of a loophole in the terms bear in mind this is only available in France at the moment.

How Is It Possible To Hire a Car With a Conviction?
The simple answer is that it is all to do with your counterpart of your UK driving licence the second part of your licence. On this paper section of your licence it declares all the offences, convictions and endorsements that you may have accrued over the years so this is technically the part that makes you unable to rent a car. One of our suppliers that we have brokered this deal with and the whole reason that you can hire a car in France with convictions is that you do not have to present your counterpart driving licence, only your photo card part of your UK driving licence which doesn’t tell the rental company of any of your previous convictions.

In order to ensure that you are placed with the correct supplier and to ensure that you can arrange your car hire with a conviction in France then please speak directly with our rental advisors. Please DO NOT BOOK ONLINE as this offer is only available over the telephone or on our live chat function.
