The Green Motion Ultimate Car Rental Checklist

Here at Green Motion we understand that car hire can sometimes be a slightly daunting prospect; we don’t think it should be! Hiring a car should be about cruising the hills of Tuscany, slipping through the streets of Zagreb or tackling the tundra of Iceland, not fumbling around with documents at the airport. To solve this problem we’ve created the ultimate car hire checklist, which displays exactly what you need – no matter where you’re from, or where you’re hiring.

UK Resident Hiring in UK

If you’re a UK resident hiring in the UK this is what’s required:

  • Driving Licence Card - if you have a paper driving licence from before 1998 this is still valid, but the DVLA recommends you apply for a card to replace this
  • DVLA check code (which is acquired from the DVLA website) - this is optional but can be useful to have with you
  • National Insurance Number
  • Credit card
  • Utility Bill
  • Passport
