Do I need both parts of driving licence to hire a car at Dublin Airport? Hertz seem to need both parts, I can't find the paper part) :(:

[SilverTonguedDevil]

I was going to use Hertz but not sure now as there website says both parts required!
Travelling tomorrow.
Has anyone hired from Hertz recently and only had the plastic card driving licence?
Any other companies I can use?
TIA

I'd be buggered because they don't issue paper licences anymore.

I didn't think paper counterparts to the driving licence were valid/required any more. They certainly aren't in Scotland/England

Where was your licence issued?
GB ones don't have a paper counterpart
Googling suggests NI driving licences still have the photocard plus paper counterpart. If its not a NI licence you have then you dont need both parts

I recently hired a car through Europcar at Knock, and I only needed the card part of my driving licence. When I’ve hired at Belfast before (not with europcar) I had to basically sell my soul with the most obscene amount of identity! Hope you get it sorted!

I think I might have come across an out of date hertz page cos' I can't find it any longer.
I think the card part is sufficient ... especially as I'm in England where the paper part doesn't seem to exist any longer.
Thanks

If you have a GB licence the the paper counterpart to the photocard was made obsolete in about 2015. If it was a NI licence then you still need both parts

You don't need it . I rent form hertz a lot in Dublin with my Uk liscense

I'm in Ireland and only have a credit card type license.

Have you ordered the paperwork/code from dvla as that confirms your driving history previously shown on the paper part.

They never ask for that anymore

We had to do this recently when hiring a car in Scotland.

This is what you need instead. You need to get it online.

Paper part no longer required just access your driving history, see the DVLA link it's about 1/2 way down.

Why are people giving info from UK driving rules?!

Dublin is the Republic of Ireland. Different country. Different rules.
May be similar but best to check.

OP, can't you google it? Or a phone call to Hertz in Dublin. You'll have the answer within 5 minutes.

It was a requirement for people driving in Ireland with a Uk license . Something to do
With when the UK got rid of The paper part of the license . I'm aware of where Dublin is geographically and politically thanks .
