International drivers permit

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about this? Do we need one?

This is our first time driving whilst in Florida and we have no idea.

No you don't need one

No you don't need one

The USA.gov website suggests asking the car hire company which is why I asked. Is it not usually needed in Florida?

Florida has repealled the law requiring an IDP in spring 2013

The USA are a federal country, each state as their own laws, that's why usa.gov advises to check with the renter as it epends onthe state you drive through

You must have your own UK. licence

And any other drivers Must have their own as well.

Main driver ( or person making booking ) Must have Credit Card. / debit card

( You all have passports as well )

Def not required. Last October we were there and were never asked for one. Just as well as I don't own one. Just took my UK licence .

How is it driving in FL compared to the UK?
I'm not even used to driving in UK cities as we live in the country so US roads, and especially those on Disney property, look very overwhelming to me....?

I find driving in FL easier than here! Roads are wider but less 2 way traffic and very few roundabouts!

I find driving in Florida very easy. Disney especially so. One thing that most UK people take a while to get used to is that you can turn right through a red light (unless there is a sign explicitly saying you can't). Treat it as a Give Way.

this is what puts me off driving in FL. I've been many times but always relied on FIL to take hubby and me off property. anybody know if there is a rental company that will allow my husband to drive? he needs a left footed accelerator due to being an amputee? (sorry it's off topic)
