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 newly qualified 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.

*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.

Fantastic
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

Highly recommended, especially for new drivers
One of the very few companies I could find in the UK that have policies for new drivers (licences issued less than 12 months ago). A great company to deal with, helpful and straightforward on the phone, no problems at all. Highly recommended.
