Whether this is the case or it\u2019s just a factor of you have lost your licence this can be a real problem when it comes to hiring a car as obviously rental companies require that you have a drivers licence to produce to them when you pick up the rental, just so they know that you are eligible to drive.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t panic however there is a solution, when at the desk preparing to pick up your rental car and you don\u2019t have your licence then all you need to have is another photographic identification like a passport. Once you produce the passport they will run what is called a DVLA check in which the car rental company ring up the DVLA to find out if your details match the system so that they can approve you for the rental, this is a premium rate number however and you will be charged \u00a35-10 but to get out of a crisis situation it is more than worth doing.<\/p>\n<p>Please bear in mind however the DVLA have opening hours so you can only check your licence at these times and if your rental is in another time slot then you will need to reorganise it, Indigo will help you amend the booking if you have booked with us but please call us as soon as you have realised the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The opening hours of the DVLA are:<\/p>\n<p><em>Monday \u2013 Friday<\/em>: <strong>8:00am-7:00pm<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Saturday \u2013 Sunday<\/em>: <strong>8:00am-2:00pm <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very important that if you have lost your licence that you book within these hours or it can cause a lot of issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To answer the question in short, can I rent a car If I have lost my driver\u2019s licence?<\/strong> Yes you most certainly can and there is no need for a rental car temporary licence to do so all you have to do is be within the opening hours of the DVLA or amend your booking with the car hire company you have booked with.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any more queries on how to rent a car without drivers licence?
