    The licence & v5c are fine, as you can be contacted via that address quickly.

    However, you do need to tell your insurance company if the car is regularly kept at a different address to the one that you told them originally, [STRIKE]so that they can charge you more[/STRIKE], because the rental address may be in an area with a higher risk of damage/theft.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
  • Also, if your current address doesn't match up with the address on your license, hire companies may refuse to loan you a vehicle.

    Given that you can change address online for free at https://www.gov.uk/change-address-driving-licence wouldn't that be quicker than posting here then reading 13 replies from self-opinionated dummies like me? lol

    (I also find the DL really handy as proof of address/ ID )

    You can only change the details on-line if you have a photo licence. And not self opinionated, just that the information in some of the posts is wrong.
