If he doesn't have driver CPC qualification he can hire and drive for private use only, not for reward.
In any case it'll be up to the hire company when it all shakes out.

C1 is a medium sized vehicle up to 7500kg.Licensing and hire shouldnt be a problem but allowing the hired vehicle to be driven abroad may be.

Thank-you. Does it make any difference to the catergories on the new photo card license. I still have the old paper license and its lists C1 on mine but wondering if its the same on the photocards.
