Can I rent a car in the UK with a new driving license less than one year old?
I'm a UK citizen visiting the UK over the Christmas period. If possible, I'd like to rent a car - but I've only had a full UK driver's license for less than a year. I gather that there is no longer a legal requirement that car rental drivers have had a license for more than 12 months, but every car rental company I can find enforces a 12-month minimum anyway.
I understand that as a new license holder I'd be viewed as a riskier customer. I don't mind paying extra.
Is there any UK car rental company who'll accept customers who held their license for less than a year?
I'm well over any age limits (over 25) and have no blemishes on my license. I have another international license, but I've held that for even less time than my UK license.
