If its not going on the public road you wont (it would need to be registered anyway).
The hire company will give you brief instructions on how to use it.
You can always call a hire company & ask when you get a quote

I wasn't planning on nipping the shops on it (I'm sure Asda wouldn't be too happy to see me in aisles running over the beans!) hehehe
Thanks for the quick answer Diyisfun. I've emailed the hire company to see if they can confirm that. I've used one many years ago and it didn't seem too complicated but if they give you a quick crash course that would great!
I'll let you know what they reply with
That was quick! Here is the reply from hire company:

...good call Diyisfun! Bang on the money with that answer.... now all I need to do is measure my gate to check the thing will fit through it. I don't think the missus would be too pleased if I have to take the back wall down (again / long story)

Wot's a digger licence?
noseall, I thought earlier today that I might need some sort of licence to use a mini digger but I've been told I don't as I'm only using it on my own property and not driving it in the street or working on the road.

charge all the local kids a pound a minute for a go, you should recoup your costs by lunch time and youd get your garden dug for free!!!!
last time I hired a bloke in a mini digger, he did all the work in a day and charge £180 all in. This was a few years ago mind.
I've always been told it works out cheaper to hire someone with their own mini digger as they can often do the job in half the time due to their experience. Not sure if this is still the case, maybe worth getting a quote or 2?
If it does work out cheaper but you want to have a go in a digger then you could alway use the money saved and go to diggerland instead
