Default concrete with fiber

going to have a new driveway poured. One of the contractors [with
the best price] said we didn't need rebar because the concrete he
used has the fiber in it. Should I insist on rebar or does the fiber
negate the need for rebar?
TIA


I would also suggest the steel. Fiber will make the concrete stronger
and in some cases can substitute for steel, but I would still want the
steel. You also may want to check your local codes and they may require
rebar.
