Has anyone hired a car or van recently and if so could they advise if they were asked at any point if they had a criminal record when completing paperwork. I have a need to move some equipment and have enquiried about hiring a van but no mention of such questions from the vehicle hire company of such checks. In light of the tragic events in London this week it occurred to me that Hire companies might ask me when I have to fill out forms for the vehicle insurance and I don't won't to be put on the spot as it were. If anyone has some experience or insight I would be grateful.
