Your guide to a smooth hire

Welcome to Northwichrentacar.com! To ensure a seamless rental experience, please read our hire conditions carefully. We've outlined everything you need to know, especially regarding your driving licence summary, to get you on the road quickly and safely.

Obtaining your driving licence summary

As of June 2015, the paper counterpart to the photo card driving licence is no longer valid. This means for all hirers, you will need to present a copy of your Driving Licence Summary obtained from the DVLA when hiring a vehicle. This summary must be obtained no more than 72 hours before the commencement of your hire period.

Step-by-step guide: how to get your summary

Follow these simple steps to obtain your Driving Licence Summary:

  1. Go to www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence or Google search ‘DVLA share my licence’.

  2. Enter your licence number, National Insurance number, and postcode.

  3. Tick the blue privacy notice box and then click ‘View Now’ at the bottom of the page.

  4. Click the ‘Share your licence information’ tab at the top right-hand side of the page.

  5. Click ‘Create a Code’.

  6. Click ‘View, print or save your licence information’ found just below your code.

  7. Click ‘Open’ then ‘OK’.

Your licence summary will now appear, ready for you to save or print.
