Reviving an old thread...

Are there any US residents out there that have rented a car through these guys (usrentacar.co.uk) ? Did it work ? Their FAQs seem to offer conflicting advice as to whether it's possible. Eg:

Question: I am a UK resident if I book a car in florida will my US friends be able to drive it also?

Answer: If you book with our Budget supplier they will allow a driver with a US or Canadian driving lisence but they have to be the lead driver, and they will only allow 1 per vehicle, Alamo and Dollar will not allow a US driver on their vehicles.

and

Question: I have had my US drivers licence for 20 years and i'm a US citizen, can i rent a car?

Answer: You can book with our Budget supplier, but they can only allow 1 US driver on a booking and they have to be the lead driver.


I am an Australian citizen currently living the US, so I suppose I can use my Oz driver's license if necessary - but I'd prefer to use the US one so as to not complicate things should anything go wrong (accident, vehicle damage, etc). With that said, specifying an Australian license also opens up other booking options that are a couple of hundred $$ cheaper.

In short, have any US residents (either citizens or aliens) booked a car through usrentacar.co.uk, and if so, did it work ?
