This is another common question asked through the website and phones; can I hire a car if I have points on my license? We do have an FAQ<\/a> on this subject however I thought I would expand as it\u2019s a very commonly asked question. The indirect immediate answer to this question is yes you can hire with points on your license however it depends on a lot of things.<\/p>\n

The general accepted amount of points on a license that you will still get accepted for is 6, if it\u2019s any hire you tend to get declined. Although 6 is the guideline amount it depends on what your penalties where for, things such as speeding tend to be okay however if it was anything serious such as IN10<\/a> (Symbolises driving without insurance) or DR10 (Symbolises drink driving) you will have to wait for around 5 years before you can hire a vehicle. The other main things often declined by rental companies are careless driving offences.<\/p>\n

Like previously mentioned some driving offences regarded as minor aren\u2019t USUALLY<\/strong> much of an issue. Speeding offences and traffic offences are usually regarded as minor offences and as long as they don\u2019t equal over 6 points you should be okay to hire any vehicle. However you can never be too sure so always check.<\/p>\n

Despite your offence there are often different complications that come with different companies and the types of offences that just makes the whole system a really confusing hassle. It\u2019s often really tricky to outline which driving offences you will be able to hire a car with and which you will not be able to. We are always willing to help with these aspects as we know if you have points it can be a confusing situation, if you need any more information on any of these matters you can always call our reservation agents<\/strong> who will answer any of your queries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
