Customers renting in Florida and presenting a Connecticut or Delaware licence: As of 1 July 2023, certain, but not all, licences issued by the foregoing states are considered invalid under Florida law and will not be accepted.  Please check with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to determine if your licence is valid under Florida law.  As of 14 August 2023, information regarding licence validity was able to be located at the following webpage on the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website: https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/visiting-florida-faqs/
Customers travelling to the U.S. and Canada from other countries
It is important that customers check with the appropriate Department of Motor Vehicles in the States or Provinces in which they intend to travel to ensure compliance with their various licensing laws. Digital licences are not accepted. The following practices are used to ensure that the customer is presenting a facially valid licence at the time of rental.
Customers travelling to the United States and Canada from another country must present the following:
• Their home country driving licence that is valid, unexpired and includes a photograph, and
• If the home country licence is in a language other than English (or French, for rentals in Canada) and the letters are English (i.e. German, Spanish etc.), an International Driving Permit is recommended, but not required, for translation purposes in addition to the home country licence. 
• If the home country licence is in a language other than English and the letters are not English (i.e. the alphabet is not an extended Latin-based alphabet like German or Spanish, but is Russian, Japanese, Arabic etc.), an International Driving Permit is required.
• If an International Driving Permit cannot be obtained in the home country, another professional, type-written translation may be substituted.  In either case, the home country licence must also be presented.
• Customers may not rent a vehicle solely with the International Driving Permit.  The International Driving Permit is a translation of the individual's home country licence and is not considered a licence, nor is it considered valid identification.
• In some US and Canadian locations, customers who do not hold a US/Canadian driving licence may be asked to provide additional, valid government-issued documentation.  Examples of this may include a valid passport.
• Customers with a driving licence from Mexico may be required to present a valid voter registration card from Mexico. In addition, inbound and outbound travel documentation may be required.

THE PAI-PEC IS NOT REQUIRED TO RENT A VEHICLE.  PLEASE READ THE CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE WORDING CAREFULLY FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS.  The PAI coverage provides renter and renter's passengers with accidental death, dismemberment, and accident medical expenses and ambulance expense benefits. The PEC coverage insures the personal effects of the renter, additional drivers, or anyone who is travelling with the renter against risks of loss or damage to personal effects.  Benefits are payable in addition to any other insurance coverage the renter or passengers may have.  The coverage provided by PAI-PEC may duplicate the renter's existing coverage. Enterprise is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renter's existing coverage.  Therefore, the renter should examine his or her personal insurance policies or other coverage(s) that may duplicate the coverage provided by PAI-PEC.  This is a summary only. PAI-PEC is subject to the provisions, limitations and exclusions of the PAI-PEC policy, which is underwritten by AIG Insurance Company of Canada. The premium for PAI-PEC is 6.99 CAD per day.
