Hello All, Some car hire companies only rent to people with a driving licence for more than three years. So not good for temporary T1 license holders? Advice on car rental?

Interesting. I must admit having been travelling for the last 40 odd years, I have never experienced this, certainly not in France, Spain, Portugal, Greece or Crete where I have hired on a number of occasions and I have never had a problem with any of the hire companies I have used.
Over 70's have 3 year licences as a norm, and these drivers don't seem to have any problem hiring
Is this perhaps just a particular company and/or country? Shop around, I guess is the solution.
Good luck!

I’ve been renting cars since I was first diagnosed in 1977. Your driving licence may be valid for 3 years but the hire company can see how many times your 3 year licence has been reissued I’ve just received my new 3 year licence. If you look at the back of your licence you will see what year you passed your driving test. So they know you have been driving longer than just 3 years.
