DVLA Check

If I am hiring a car will I need a DVLA check? The answers to this depend purely on one thing. If you don’t have a counterpart or second part of your licence then you will be required to have a DVLA check. This can be awkward because the DVLA only have certain hours of operation and you can often be left stuck if you don’t arrive at the hours that the DVLA check is meant to be taking place since for a DVLA check you must be present at the location when it is to take place due to data protection purposes.

The DVLA check typically costs between £5-10 which is to cover the cost of the phone call and this depends on what the supplier wants to charge you. Calling the DVLA is a tricky process, the numbers hard to get and its all just a massive hassle and worst of all due to the time you may be arriving at the car hire location it may be out of hours for the DVLA in which you can’t contact them meaning you will be stuck stranded at the car hire desk unable to hire a car.
