UK Young Drivers we have good news for you! With Indigo Car Hire you will be able to hire a car without any extra charges at multiple locations all over the UK.

Drivers Over 21

For the Young Drivers 21+ we have a unique deal: Toyota Aygo Car Hire. The drivers must be at least 21 and drive for two years.

London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks Tickets Now Available

June 2, 2015 UK Comments Off on London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks Tickets Now Available
Car Hire London

A limited number of early release tickets for the mayor of London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks celebrations will be made available in June.

The formerly free event saw ticketing introduced last year to curtail rapidly growing crowds.

People, from anywhere in the UK or abroad, will be able to book tickets, guaranteeing themselves good views of the fantastic pyrotechnic display and a better visitor experience.

The early release of tickets will be available to the public from midday UK time on June 19th at £10 per person, which covers printing, infrastructure and other costs associated with ticketing.

The main batch of tickets will be released in September.

Outgoing mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “We are planning another stunning display to celebrate New Year and showcase London around the world.

“As in 2014 you will need a ticket, as part of our efforts to ensure the event is as safe as possible, but even if you do not have one there will be plenty of fantastic celebrations going on across the capital to help non-ticketholders bring in 2016 with a bang.

“London is a special place at the turn of the year, the city is lit up and there is a sense of optimism for the year ahead.

“If you can’t get a ticket to attend the fireworks there are many other amazing events and experiences to enjoy, as long as visitors plan ahead and book in advance.”

Ticketing for London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks was brought in for the first time last year to help manage ever increasing crowd numbers heading into central London for the spectacular annual celebration.

The aim was to reduce numbers to help ensure its long term sustainability as a safe and enjoyable event.

As well as being enjoyed by revellers in the viewing areas, the internationally acclaimed display is watched by millions on television and helps promote London around the world.

2015 Events: Rugby World Cup

June 1, 2015 UK Comments Off on 2015 Events: Rugby World Cup
Rugby World Cup 2015

The Rugby World Cup 2015 is to be held between 18th September and 31st October 2015 and will be hosted in twelve venues across England & Wales.

We are entering into one of the most exciting times for English tourism and the Rugby World Cup 2015 will be intrinsic in securing England’s place as one of the most dynamic and beautiful destinations in the world.

Sport in this country is an incredibly powerful sales tool that has the power to attract millions of international visitors, and acts as an important catalyst to stimulate domestic visits from our vast home-grown fan-base.

Hosting the Rugby World Cup 2015, the third largest sporting event in the world after the Olympics and FIFA World Cup, is estimated by Deloittes to be worth £2.1bn to the British economy. It affords tourism with a tremendous opportunity, not least through building on, and securing our industry’s place as an intrinsic part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. But also through the sheer scale of the tournament, with host match venues and training camps spanning the breadth of the country, spreading the opportunity for tourism far and wide.

The tournament forms a central plank of Britain’s “decade of sport”, which also includes the 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games, the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, and the 2014 Tour De France.

The Host Cities

The Rugby World Cup 2015 host cities will be spread all over England – the North, Midlands, South, West and London – making this a genuinely pan-England event. Thirteen venues have been confirmed, twelve of which are based in England. Below is the full list of the confirmed venues:

This geographical spread is a gift for our industry enabling the UK to showcase our incredible assets as a world class tourist destination as has never been done before in order to boost tourism spend, stimulate the continued growth of the English visitor economy, and create all important jobs for England.

2015 Events: Formula 1 British Grand Prix

May 29, 2015 UK Comments Off on 2015 Events: Formula 1 British Grand Prix
Formula 1 British Grand Prix

Silverstone is one of the oldest races on the calendar and started life as an airfield. The end of Second World War left Britain with no major race track. An ex-farmer, James Wilson Brown, was employed by the RAC and given just two months to turn the site from a wartime airfield and farm into a race track for the first RAC International Grand Prix.

On the 2nd October 1948, an estimated 100,000 people flocked to see Luigi Villoresi drive from the back of the grid to beat a field of 22 others in his Maserati with a top speed of 72.2mph. Silverstone racing history had begun.

From the 50 races we have held here at the circuit, Alain Prost holds the record for most wins at the circuit in 1983, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1993! Nigel Mansell is only just behind Alain with 4 wins here at Silverstone in 1986, 1987, 1991 and 1992.

The 2015 Formula 1 British Grand Prix will be held on the 05th July 2015 and visitors have an action packed week to look forward to. On top of 3 days of racing, there will be live music from MADNESS, Deacon Blue, Nik Kershaw and others as well as other activities like Zorbing, Boldogs (motorcycle display team), High Ropes, Segways and rookie rides.

Those staying for the duration will need some form of accommodation, camping seems to be the most popular as it keeps you in the mix for the whole weekend and for relatively little cost but many local hotels will be booked up already, so get your skates on and don’t miss out.

If you are visting for the 1st time then you should be looking for accommodation in the nearby towns of Whittlebury, Syresham and Towcester, or a little further afield you will find cities like Milton Keynes, Northampton and Banbury.

If you are visiting the UK for the race then why not hire a car on your arrival from any of the Eurostar stops or major airports like Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.

NewsFlash Driving Licence Counterpart Updates

May 26, 2015 News, Newsflash, UK Comments Off on NewsFlash Driving Licence Counterpart Updates
Driving licence UPDATE

Driving Licence Counterpart Updates 29th of May 2015

We need to clarify the fact that the rental companies won’t need your National Insurance Number (NINo).
You must know your NINo, so you can access and share your driving records with the rental company.

The paper counterpart days are numbered and Indigo Car Hire is offering to its clients the latest Driving Licence Counterpart Updates.

DVLA confirmed that from 8th of June the paper counterpart which was issued with the British driving licence will no longer be valid.

This means that the paper part of your photo card driving licence will no longer be required and in fact the government are advising they you destroy them.

If you wish to hire vehicles in the UK and Ireland you will be required to create a licence check code within 72 hours of the start of your hire. This will enable you to share your driving record with a third party, such as a car hire company or insurance broker. The unique check code will allow someone to see what vehicles you can drive, any penalty points or disqualifications, your name and the last 8 characters of your driving licence number. This licence check code can be created through the link below.

https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

To create the licence check code you need to have the following:

  • your driving licence number
  • your National Insurance number
  • the postcode on your driving licence

Due to this access code only being valid for 72 hours, you will need to be super organised before you leave for your travels! Make sure you go on-line to “Share my Driving Licence” and get your access code no more than 2 days before you pick up the car.

Therefore Indigo Car Hire advises all our customers who hold a valid British driving licence to know their National Insurance Numbers (NINo).
If the client doesn’t know its NINo , then he will not be able access and share his records with the rental company, therefore he wont be able to hire a car in the UK.
Please note that this will only affect rentals in the UK and Ireland as currently the counterpart licence is not required when you rent outside the UK.

The car rental companies will also need a valid ID (passport) and a proof of address.

You can also view your counterpart online for free using DVLA new service “View Driving Licence” which can be found at this link: https://goo.gl/gwBm0w

All you need to view your driving record online is the Driving licence number, your National Insurance Number and the postcode where your licence is registered.
