As you may imagaine, several people have lost or misplaced their counterpart and the solution is fairly simple, the car rental company calls the DVLA on your behalf in order to get all the details required. The only issue with this however is that you can only check with the DVLA during opening hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you arrive at the desk when the DVLA is open then the car rental company will call them, you do however have to pay a fee of about \u00a310 as the call is a premium call which you will need to fund.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The DVLA is open from 8am to 7pm Monday \u2013 Friday, on Saturday 8am to 2pm and on Sunday it\u2019s closed. This of course can be an issue so to counter this we have come up with a solution; one of our suppliers will allow you to hire a car without your counterpart as long as you sign an indemnity form. It can be quite a confusing process but we are happy to explain it to you before you book. We will always ask if you have a counterpart and try identify this as an issue before you book, just in case however please let us know that you don\u2019t have your second part of your licence so that we can either make sure the rental company contact the DVLA or we arrange an out of hour alternative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We realise that it can be quite tricky to get your head around and but if you are arriving out of DVLA hours we assure you there is a solution. Simply call our experienced and knowledgeable reservation agents on <strong>+44 (0)113 880 0748<\/strong> or email them at <a href=\"mailto:sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk\">sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk<\/a> and they will help find a solution for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hire a
