    Strangely enough, I have hired cars many times abroad just using the paper licence ... I have only had a plastic thingy since reaching 70 ...
  • My Husband has a british passport and driving License, but now with this new rule he needs a NI number to hire a car when we go on holiday. He works for a non UK government and having reached his 65th year, has never needed a NI number.
    So to hire a car on our holiday this July, he contacted the emplyment agency to apply for a NI number. When they asked why he wanted it, he said to comply with the new rules that you need a NI to hire a car, he was told " oh no we can't issue a NI number for that reason"
    So what can he do now?
    any advice?
