    You might also want to check the small print some of the US Car Rental companies are now requiring an international drivers license, which you can purchase at your local Post Office for less than £20 I believe.

    Only mention this as I am in the states in March and saw this in the small print for my hertz booking....:)

    Really? I've never seen this before on any US hire car...only if your license isn't in English have I seen an international drivers license required.

    Hertz's website doesn't seem to say an IDL is required?

    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Yes you only need international if your driving license is in non-english language.

    Rent with Hertz.

    All Hertz rates in the USA booked through the UK website include ALL insurance with ZERO excess. You could return the car on fire through the front window of the rental office and still not have to pay an excess (Unless you did it deliberately!).
