I often hire from a small flying club who's rules require a check ride if you haven't flown for 30 days.
If I'm current, all that is required is 2 circuits, which could be less than 0.5 hours. No need for a full 1.5 hours, PFL, stalls etc. If you're familiar with the aircraft, it's fine.
A check ride should be more about confidence in landing, and the particular handling charactaristics of that aircraft.
