Appreciate any advice or experience.
First, I did my own rental as described in the OP and all went well. Thanks to others for the reassurance.

Modo, others might have more experience in other places. But when I collected the car in the US they needed to see both my license and my secondary driver's as well. The problem is that the rental would be in her name so they'll probably expect her to be able to drive it. I stand to be corrected though.

Does she not have any license at all, or just not a UK one? I'd be interested to hear from others about how fussy Avis are about the country that issues the license.
