I hired a car in Albufeira 2 weeks ago and they never asked for it. Best to get it though, only takes 5 minutes and the number lasts for 21 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruaridh Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It takes 5 minutes to get the code from DVLA. Many hirers don't ask for it but better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
