If you need to hire car but have held your licence for less than 12 months then you have come to right place. We work with suppliers around the globe who offer ‘New Driver Car Hire’ and the cost is lower than you would think. Until recently, with the vast majority of suppliers you needed to have held a licence for at least 12 months, 2 years in some locations depending on your age. Now we can offer car hire for new drivers and the only time restriction is that you must have your licence in your hand. Most are probably aware of how to apply for the license, however for those that do not information on obtaining your license can be found here. Therefore with a quick postal service you can hire a car less than a week after passing your test.
Other Restrictions Can Apply but nothing too heavy!
Providing you meet the below restrictions, you can hire a car today anywhere in the UK and in some countries abroad.
- Hold a full, clean, UK licence
- Are aged 25 or over
- Posses a debit or credit card in your own name
- You are on the electoral roll at your current address*
*if for some reason you do not yet appear on the electoral roll, you can still hire a car but would need to pay for it using a credit card.

The car rental service is fairly quick and easy. The helpful operators are always online to chat with you, so you can be rest assured that you can book your car at any time. You can even hire if you hold your license for less than a year (which I am!) at no extra cost (which is great!). I highly recommend this service!
Thanks to Cherie for being so helpful, responsive and efficient in getting this booked for me. It's really hard to find places who let people with less than 2 years on their licence rent a car, so this is great.
so easy, and catered to my specific circumstances. Highly recommend
I’ve used Indigo car hire over the last year at least 3 times now and have found each time the customer service is excellent very friendly and professional. I’ve had no issues or problems on collection of my hire car and on a couple of occasions I have had to extend the hire and indigo have sorted this for me and made this extremely easy. I will also add I’m working overseas so booking hire cars for my return visits can be very stressful but Indigo make it easy!
So pleased I found Indigo!! Fantastic service thank you
