Matt Completes The Leeds Half Marathon

MattMatt Carter finished the Leeds Half Marathon in 2.08.38 a respectable time seeing as little training was done and he finished with plenty to spare, ready for his 2nd full marathon in October.

Matt took over the mantle from our director Cherie Carter who was due to run this time but could not seeing as she is 3 months pregnant with their second child.

This year the race was expanded to include 6000 participants and for sure there were more supporters than the previous 7 years he has taken part, more of a carnival atmosphere.

This is the start of many fundraising event for Indigo Car Hire’s chosen local charity ‘St Gemma’s Hospice’ which provide incredible care for the terminally ill. Click here to read more about them and the other events we have planned.

Car Hire With Points On My Licence

A common question we get asked on a regular basis is how many points can I have on my licence in order to hire a car. Our general answer majority of the time depending on the location and the supplier is six. This is industry standard as many only car hire companies only accept six points, some don’t accept any at all. It also depends on what you got your points for with convictions like a DR10 taking 5 years from the conviction date in order to be accepted for car hire where as for example speeding isn’t considered as serious in terms of when you get points on your licence and hiring.

We have managed to negotiate a certain supplier that has several locations across the UK to bring you car hire if you have 9 points or lower. This is a 3 point improvement on the previous amount, however it does still depend in which you got your points or convictions for, please refer to our driving convictions page for more details on what points are considered more serious than others. You will find the main convictions that get turned away are insurance and drinking convictions, for those you will need to wait 5 years in order to hire a car with us and every other car hire company.

The amount of points and what points are accepted or declined can often be very confusing, Indigo are here to make it easier for you so give us a call on +44 (0)113 880 0748 if you are still confused after reading our driving convictions page. Take advantage of Indigos offers, if you have 6-9 points on your licence come straight to us as we will be able to do something about it to try help you hire a car.

Millions Face Fines For Outdated Licences

Up to two million motorists could be fined for having an expired licence photo card.

It also doesn’t help that on the front of the licence the actual dates that you need to see for the licence to be renewed by are extremely small and people just over look them. (more…)

Car Insurance Men v Women

Two years ago it was ruled that car insurance companies were breaking the law, this was in regards to women getting an overall cheaper car insurance deal than men. Typically women would get rates far cheaper than that of men due to the fact they where seen as less likely to have an accident, this was seen by the ECJ (European Court of Justice) as discrimination against men and they consequently ruled in favour of changing the prices and ordered car hire companies to change their annual premiums to make them closer in price for both sexes.
