We realise that many people misplace or lose this counter part piece as it is only bit of paper; there is however something we can do so that you will still be able to get a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/blog\/travel-news\/dvla-check\/\">DVLA<\/a> or Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency being its full name is the UK\u2019s driving body who keep all the registers of vehicles and drivers on the roads in Britain. We can contact the DVLA on your behalf when you arrive at your location and check the details on your counterpart and still be able to give you a rental vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This call usually costs you an extra \u00a310 as it is a premium rate phone line so please make sure that you know whether you have points or convictions on your licence as if you do you still won\u2019t be able to hire a car. Typically you can only have up to 6 points on your licence and have no major convictions such as a DR10 or IN10 in the last five years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only issue when doing this is that you need to make sure the at the time you are arriving to pick up the vehicle the DVLA are open to answer the phone call and give your details to the rental company.
