handicap parking pass question

[RamseyTrio]

Hi there - We are travelling back down in May and my MIL is joining us. She just recently received a handicap parking pass and I have a few questions that I'm hoping you guys can help me with...

1. She lives in Canada and the pass is from Canada - will this present problems?

2. If so...how do we go about getting her one to use in Florida?

3. And finally, we're renting a car...is there anything the rental company will need to do or know about? (My DH will be driving, MIL will always be a passenger.

Thanks in advance!

It should not. Florida and most (maybe all) of the individual provinces of Canada have a reciprocal agreement to honor each other's handicapped parking permits.

2. If so...how do we go about getting her one to use in Florida?

You should not need to.

3. And finally, we're renting a car...is there anything the rental company will need to do or know about? (My DH will be driving, MIL will always be a passenger.

No. We have never said anything about DD using a wheelchair when we have rented a car/van.
