Im travelling to Boston next month. I passed my driving text in April of this year and am hoping to rent a car and hit the highway in the States.
I went to book a car on numerous websites eg Hertz, Dollar and it stated that I must hold a full licence for a minimum of 1 year. I thought that this was only the case for car rental in Europe?
However, I have booked a GMC Yukon SUV on the Avis website and all it states is the following:
DMV Checks
At the time of rental, the renter or authorized driver may be subject to an electronic DMV check from the issuing state of the driver's license, or may be asked to sign a declaration attesting to specific criteria:
There is no mention of having a drivers licence for a minimum of 1 year.
I am a little worried that I will get there and be told that I cannot rent the vehicle.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
