If this is the case, you will only need your paper licence to be able to hire a car, as licences issued before the photocard was introduced are still perfectly valid.<\/p>\n<p>If your licence was issued after 1999 and you did receive a photocard, you will need that to be able to hire a car \u2013 in most cases you wouldn\u2019t be able to hire without it. However, if you\u2019ve lost\/misplaced your photocard and are looking to rent in the UK, do get in touch with us, as we can help with this in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home > FAQs > Can I Hire A Car With A Paper Licence?
