Title: Car Hire in the US Post by: Jason on January 03, 2012, 01:54:03 pm Am off to Minnesota in a few weeks time, and thinking I of hiring a car. Would I need both parts of my UK licence, or would the photocard on its own be ok?
Thanks Title: Re: Car Hire in the US Post by: gt6 on January 03, 2012, 04:03:55 pm Both parts

Most if not all will not rent to under 25 years old ( incase that applies to you) National will take internet bookings with just an email address though you still have to run your credit card through when you pick the car up. Minnesota will be nice this time of year if you like wind swept snow and freezing cold ;D Phil Title: Re: Car Hire in the US Post by: Jason on January 05, 2012, 02:30:56 pm Thanks all, have had to call the DVLA to get a replacement for the paper part, but of course, they can't issue one without the other, so £20 poorer for losing it.
Hi Phil, oddly kinda looking forward to a possible snowy Minneapolis, mostly to see family there not my first choice of trip. And yup, I would normally book a car while at home, and as I have a few weeks to finalise side trip to Dayton, can work something out. And thankfully not going to suffer the under 25 rule.

Try billiger-mietwagen.de they have good offers also in the US and prices is fair. saves you the trouble of searching different websites. (in german, but easy to use) Kenn Title: Re: Car Hire in the US Post by: Bob U on January 05, 2012, 04:47:17 pm I concur - last time I hired a car in the US, they wanted both parts of my driving licence. I havn't got a second part to mine as I still have a one piece paper licence. That'll be an interesting car pick up at MCO in March. |
