1. What type of driving licence do I need to hire a vehicle?
You’ll need a full, valid UK driving licence. If you hold a non-UK licence, please contact us to confirm eligibility.

Unfortunately, we do not allow vehicle hire with a provisional licence. A full driving licence is required.
3. How long do I need to have held my licence to hire a vehicle?
You must have held your driving licence for at least 12 months to hire a vehicle from Longmarsh.
4. Can I hire a vehicle if I have points on my licence?
Yes, but this depends on the number and type of points. Please contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.
5. Do I need to provide a DVLA licence check code?
Yes, if you hold a UK licence, you’ll need to provide a DVLA check code so we can verify your driving record.
