  • Sleepy - do you have to have been driving a certain length of time for insurance purposes? I've only been driving 10 mths and my mum pointed out that they may need me to have been driving for a year.

    I think there was something like that, but I can't remember quite what the requirement was, sorry. When I arranged mine, they were really friendly, so why not call up or go along and ask.

    Naughty- you have to have being driving for 2 years - no more than 6 points and they ask about any convictions.

    Again thanks for the tip- just saved a fortune on car rental!

    Worth noting that you don't even have to ring up and book. We were looking at the Aygo and noticed a sign for the 2 day test drives, 1/2hr later we were driving off in one. You do need to take along your whole driving liscence (both paper and photo card for those of us with the new style ones) and proof of your address from the last 6 months, eg bank statement or bill.

    the deposit- is the money deducted from your debit/credit card? do you sign or tap in your pin or are your details off the card recorded.

    Also what was the miliage like on the car given to you during the test drive? ive heard you should take a new car on a motorway/ do over 50 miles per hour in it.

    That stems from the older cars when they needed running in and for the first 500 miles you shouldn't go over 50 MPH. New cars are built to not need running in so there's nothing to worry about now :D
