Can I Hire A Car With A Temporary Licence?

Can You Hire A Car With A Temporary Licence?

Firstly we need to understand what is meant by temporary licence, on the whole a temporary licence is what will be provided to you if you have to surrender you licence for a number of reasons. The most common being when applying for a new licence in a new country following emigration.

Do You Hold A Credit Card?
Are You Over 25 & Under 70?
Held Your Licence For 2 Years?
Is Your Licence Valid?

If you answer No to any of these questions then contacting us before making a booking is the way to go, fill out the enquiry form or contact us on the below details. Our customer service and reservations team are here to help.

In the Eu and indeed most developed countries in the world, when you decide to emigrate you will have a certain amount of time in which to get your paperwork in order. In Spain for example, you must change you licence if you have been resident there for 2 years.

It is not a complicated process but does include surrendering your UK licence, in the time between you doing this and your new Spanish licence arriving you will be issued with a temporary licence. This is a document outlining your licence information, entitlements and any endorsements.

If, during this time you need to hire a car then we do have a supplier who can help. You maybe limited outside of the Eu but certainly in the Uk, car hire with a temporary licence is possible.

Contact our team for more information, they are here to help with any car hire related questions.

Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
