Many of us have penalty points of driving convictions. But how does that affect Warrington Van Hire? Read on for a guide to penalty points and van hire.
Penalty Points and Van Hire
You may wonder if you can hire a van in Warrington if you have penalty points on your licence.
For more minor driving offences like speeding (SP30), you are generally allowed to hire a van with the points or endorsements as long as a driving ban was not imposed, and you have a maximum of 6 points on your driving licence. Some hire companies will permit up to 9 points. If you committed a more serious offences like failing to stop at an accident (AC10) it will prohibit you from hiring any car or van for up to five years from the date the offence was committed.
Points and Endorsements That Will Prohibit You From Warrington Van Rental
This is not an exhaustive list, but you can assume that if you have a driving endorsement that begins with, for example, CD, then it doesn’t matter its classification – it will prohibit you from Warrington van hire. Such offences include:
| Code | Description | Points |
| AC10 | Failing to stop after an accident | 5 to 10 |
| BA10 | Driving while disqualified by order of court | 6 |
| CD40 | Causing death by careless driving while unfit through drink | 3 to 11 |
| DD40 | Dangerous driving | 3 to 11 |
| DR10 | Driving or attempting to do so with an alcohol level above the legal limit | 3 to 11 |
| IN10 | Using a vehicle that is uninsured against third party risks | 6 to 8 |
| LC20 | Driving otherwise than in accordance with your licence | 3 to 6 |
| TT99 | Shows disqualification under ‘totting-up’ system | N/A |
| UT50 | Aggravated taking of a vehicle | 3 to 11 |
Any imprisonable driving offence as AC10 (whether or not a prison term was imposed) is a formal “criminal conviction” which carries penalty points as well as a potential driving ban. If you have such a conviction you will find Warrington Van Hire is almost impossible.
