FAQs

Here is some more info to answer our most popular questions:

  • I have a non-UK driving license, can I still hire?

    This is very much possible, but it does require some more information and a referral to our insurers.


    Please fill out a copy of the following form - click here - and return on email to hello@thatchandthrottle.com (we will fill in the vehcicle registration section).


    Please include any relevant experience driving manual cars/left of the road/classics/in UK etc, alongside the standard requirements below:



    • Photo of front and back of driving license
    • Photo of passport
    • 2 proofs of address (recently dated utility bill, phone bill, card statement etc)


    Attach everything to your email and we will then apply and hopefully get it approved!


    (Please note that if you have no prior experience driving a manual car it would be unlikely we can approve)



  • I'm outside of the age range 23-75yrs, can I still hire?

    Similarly to our policy on international licenses this is not impossible!
