Question

Do i need a photographic uk licence to hire a car in florida?

Answer 1

I found an interesting site you may want to read if you are visiting the US from the UK. Here is what it said about drivers licenses:

"Driving licence:

In the U.S.A you are not required to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) if you hold a valid driving licence, but often you are required to have held your licence for a minimum of one year and a foreign driving licence is normally only valid for a year.

In the U.S.A and Canada driving licence’s include the drivers photograph, so if you are from a country where this is not the case it is wise to also carry your passport to avoid any unnecessary complications or delays should you have to produce it. If you are from the U.K. remember to take both parts of your driving licence (photo card and paper licence with the further details)."

The site is http://www.drivingabroad.co.uk/content.a...

Answer 2

"Legally", no. The non-photo drivers license, plus a photographic proof of ID, such as your passport, is legally sufficient.

That does NOT, however, mean that a rental agency will accept that. That is entirely up to them.
