After the abolition of the paper counterpart of the driving licence, all hirers now have to produce a licence check code.
To get this code you need to visit www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk/driving-record/licence-number or click the DVLA link from the top right side of this page and follow the instructions.
Codes last 21 days once generated and can only be used once, so this procedure will have to be followed by every driver, for every hire.
Our Insurance Company stipulate that we must see the original Driving Licence, therefore you must make sure you bring it with you when you collect your vehicle.
All of our current vehicles can be driven on a normal 'B' category, which entitles you to drive vehicles up to 3500kg GVW with up to 8 passenger seats.
If you passed your driving test before 1st January 1997 you are probably entitled to drive a vehicle & trailer up to a combined Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of 8.25 tonnes.
Hirers whose licence was issued after this date may only drive a van coupled with with a trailer up to 750kg MAM, or a trailer over 750kg MAM if the combined weight of the van & trailer is less than 3,500kg Gross Train Weight (GTW), unless you have taken the ‘B+E’ Van & Trailer test, in which case
With any type of fine (parking, congestion charge, bus lane, etc), we will receive the penalty notice if it is not paid at the time.

All Kenhire’s short term hire vehicles are included on our Dart Charge Account, so we will take payment from you for any crossings made while you have the vehicle on hire.
You can notify us of crossings either when you collect or return the vehicle; we would normally then deduct the charges from your deposit or take payment from your credit card once we receive notification of your crossings.
Please note that if you have your own Dart Charge account, you will not be able to add one of our vehicles to it. Long term hire vehicles can be removed from our account on request if customers wish to manage Dartford crossings themselves.
If you travel into the London Congestion Charge Zone you must pre-pay the daily charge online by clicking here OR by phone on 0343 222 2222 using the vehicle registration details.
A £25.00 + VAT admin charge will apply for Penalty Charge Notices received in the event of non payment of this and the fine will be re-issued to the hirer in all cases.
