Short answer: To rent a car from Otofilorent you must be at least 21 years old and have held a category B driving licence for at least 1 year. If your licence is less than 1 year old, including a 6-month licence, you cannot rent a car. As soon as it reaches 1 year, you can rent many economy cars; higher classes require more years of driving.
No. Our rental conditions require a category B driving licence held for at least 1 year, and this applies to every car. Before booking, check the date shown next to category B on your licence; at least 1 year must have passed since that date on the rental day. If you have renewed your licence or are unsure, ask our central line.
No. A 6-month licence does not meet the 1-year requirement. You need to wait until your licence is 1 year old; the same rule applies to additional drivers.
Please ask our central line on 0850 305 00 45 before booking whether a rental is possible with a temporary driving licence. Please bring your driving licence with you at handover.
