Hi Santosh,

Providing your Indian licence permits you to drive abroad (e.g. is a full licence) and as long as you have held it for over 12 months then yes you will be able to rent.
Also if it is not written in English then you will need an International licence along with the original in order to collect the car.
I hope that helps
Chris

Hi Michelle

I’m afraid UK cars cannot be left outside of the UK.

Hi Tallal,

I’m afraid that you will need to prove to the office that you have held a licence for over 12 months. In which country did you do your test? Can you get proof from there to say that you were driving for over 4 years? If not then I’m afraid you won’t be able to rent until you’ve held your UK one for a year.

I hope this helps

Ive had a UK license for a couple of months and have been driving here regularly. Ive driven in another country for around 4 years now but have lost my license to prove that. Is it possible that I can hire a car here with my UK license?

Hi Angel,

When you arrive at the office if you can prove that you have held a clean licence for 12 months then you will be able to rent. This means proving that you have held an Indian licence sine 2005 with some kind of documented evidence.
I hope that helps

I am a newly qualified UK driving license holder (less than 1 year) however I used to drive on my Indian license (since 2005). Would I be able to rent a car in this case?

Thanks

Hi Alex, you need to have held a licence for at least a year to rent a car with Avis in the UK. So, based on the information you’ve provided, you will have qualified to rent a car with Avis by September this year.

I hope this helps!
