Under 21 Driving in Florida...

[roger]

I'm not sure that would work unless you have your own car in the USA, as the youngest age to drive a hire car is 19. From what I can gather, she would also need to have held her provisional Florida license for a year before taking her test.

Your own children driving sounds scary, especially if it gets moved forward Roger[msnwink] I do wander if our daughter could learn to drive on private land here, and then take a test in the USA when she is 16 (next Sept), I know she would love it...not sure I would mind you[msneek]

Yes, thats exactly the same in Florida. They are free to drive until they pass their test, then they have to pay. Sounds a bit backwards to me!

I don't know if FL is like MA but all kids are covered to drive under their parents Ins till they past their test...then it can get a bit costly...my kids have always paid for and had their own Ins...but they still have to be on our Ins too ...

So has Charlotte started driving yet Roger? The thing aobut the insurance is the reason they don'y cost as much before they pass their test is that until they do they will always be accompanied when driving so an extra pair of eyes to look out for hazards. Once they pass their test and can drive alone then there is potentially more risk of them not seeing or avoiding an accident till they get some experience.

Regarding the question there were some changes to the hire packages but when Roger is around he wil be able to advise the best way to go about it, short answer is I'm sure you can if you've had your license 3 years but as with everything there will probably be an extra cost to it.
