I have just used Avis and used my plastic card only. I lost the paper thingy ages ago.

You can ask the hire company to phone DVLA who will verify your details. It's a premium rate number and you have to be there at the time to give your permission.

Goods news, but is there a prefix so the number can be used from overseas?

Or do premium rate numbers still work from Ireland?

[Pondlife]

No you don't

thanx, feck, does anyone know how much taxis are from Cork to Skibbereen

I use EasyCrate and Avis occasionally. They both require the counterpart unfortunately.

Supposed to be hiring a car from Cork next Thursday. Can only find the plastic card, does anyone know if car hire firms always require both bits, if yes do you know if the DVLA do some sort of fast track replacement service or is it a very exspensive taxi (57 miles each way)
