• After testing 32 cars on short-term hire, finding 12 with serious defects and only four in good condition. Motoring Which? has suggested that vehicle hire firms should be licensed. The magazine is published by the Consumers' Association.
Motoring Which? says that hire firms should be subjected to spot-checks on the mechanical condition of their vehicles and that any firm with a poor record should have its licence withdrawn.
