Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the continuation of the common travel area after the UK leaves the EU on the ability of rental car companies to charge customers for crossing the land border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

Leaving the EU will have no impact on the ability of rental car companies to charge customers for crossing the land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland if the continuation of the Common Travel Area applies as it does now. Customers may be charged an additional fee if they are going to cross a border, but this is at the discretion of the rental car company.
