Do I need Driver Licence check?

Whether you need a driver's license check depends on the specific situation and your requirements. Here are a few situations where driver's license checks might be necessary or beneficial.

  • Employees

    If your employees drive company vehicles or use their own vehicles to carry out company business you, as the employer, have responsibilities and liabilities. Failing to ensure their license are valid could expose you to legal action and costs.

  • Rental / Leasing

    If you lease or rent vehicles it is vital to ensure all drivers have valid driving licenses. A driver without a valid license is an uninsured driver.

  • Contractors / Volunteers

    If you have individuals driving for your business you are potentially liable. This includes third party contractors, temps and unpaid volunteers.
