The Department for Transport and its six Executive Agencies have two 0800 numbers and a single 0870 number which the public can call. One is a DVLA number which members of the public can use to obtain information for applications and the other is VOSA's Whistle Blower Intelligence Line. These are free phone numbers so there is no cost to the public to use them or associated revenue for the agencies.

MCA has the 0870 public enquiry number, which is charged at national rate. The MCA receives no revenue from this line.
