Has anyone ever been asked for a printout of their driving licence details (points etc) or the code the DVLA supply to get them, when hiring a car abroad?
I've taken the printout the last couple of times, but never needed to produce it.

In the past year I have hired cars in Italy, Ireland and Australia. Each time I have taken a printout, never been asked for it. Like the OP I would like to know if the printout is ever required.

I'm just about to apply for one now, only obtained twice before and never required.
But there may be a first time. Paul

Even when the driving licence was 2 part, I don't know of anybody ever being asked for the paper part while abroad.
But it always seemed necessary in this country.

Yeah I know. The reason for my post is that I've just done the same, but I know it won't be asked for.

To be fair.
If you have address, NI and driving licence number it is a simple straightforward process. Unlike somethings. Paul
