Rent a car with a Foreign License?

Question

A Japanese friend of mine is wondering if she can use her Japanese drivers license to rent a car for a month while in the States. Do you need an International license or what?

Answer 1

I believe she would have to get an international license, And even then depending on the rental agency they may frown upon it.

Answer 2

Forget the car ,the reg. for the car does not matter, You on the other hand must be licensed to drive in the jurisdiction that you operate the vehicle in.International license speaks for themselves.

she would need permission,-[pernit]

"BRILLIANT"!!!!
