Trailer rental

Hello,

Does anyone have experience in operating a trailer rental business without an Operators Licence? I’ve let my last licence expire last year and am looking at buying some trailers to rent out but wondered whether I need to go back through to get another licence? Also, if I don’t need a licence how much of a ‘grey’ area is it if I use a unit to take said trailers for MOT’s etc., on trade plates?

Thoughts and opinions much appreciated before I call our friends in Leeds.

Hire companies are exempt from holding o licence, can deliver trailers and collect without o licence or taco but most hire companies choose to use taco to avoid having to use log books

As Alex said. I would hire a unit for test etc. from yourself Paul.

I can’t see you getting much fat on your back though.

Thank you both for your comments. As I thought. Regards
