Handicapped parking placard

[arielsleepingbeauty]

HI, My sister has a handicapped parking placard for my niece whois disabled. We live in Ma and are planning to rent a car for our trip to WDW. I haven't even asked her about this, but another thread had sparked my curiosity. Would she be able to use that same placard in the rental car or would she need a FLA issued one?

Thanks!

You're good. Here's Florida's law:

RECIPROCITY: Section 316.1958, Florida Statutes, provides that motor vehicles displaying a license plate or parking permit issued to a disabled person by any other state or district subject to laws of the United States shall be recognized as a valid plate or permit, allowing such vehicle the special parking privileges in Florida, provided such other state or district grants reciprocal recognition for disabled residents of this state. All of the United States have agreed to reciprocate.

Thanks for that information.

Just as a point of interest -- you can also use a US handicapped tag on your car in Canada. A friend of mine who lives there clued me into this and the next time we went to Vancouver, yup, we used mine.
