Proof Of Address
When you come to hire a car a proof of address is often required, a proof of address is only required if you are living within the country you are hiring your car in however you may be asked to produce the return flight ticket. A proof of address is essential as basically a peace of mind for the company renting the car to you.
When you approve an address it means you are tied to that address so they have the details that they need in order to ensure that you don’t either damage the vehicle and refuse to pay or run off with the vehicle, not saying you would it’s just a precaution!
