UK driving licence changes from 8 June - affects car hire

Post by NeatandPicky »

You may want to let your guests know that from 8 June if they are hiring a car with a UK photocard driving licence, their paper counterpart is no longer valid. The new procedure is that you need to obtain a code to enable the driving licence info to be shared online. The drawback is that the code only holds for 72 hours, so it's something that needs to be done last-minute.

Chances are non UK car hire desks won't be aware, and won't ask, but best to be ready just in case.
