Flying to MCO with a foreign licence? The rules are simple: if your licence is in English and valid for the full rental period, most partners will accept it. If your licence is in another language, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. Start by choosing your car rental and checking the documents section shown for each offer.
An IDP is a translation booklet that accompanies your home licence—it’s not a standalone licence. Carry both together, along with your passport. If you’re planning day trips beyond Orlando, the IDP helps avoid delays if you’re stopped by local authorities or need to file a report.
For travelers using UK spellings and terms, browse car hire options in the same place: Hola Car Rentals displays insurance, mileage, and deposit rules clearly before you book.
Which vehicle is best for theme‑park weeks?
Parking is easier with compacts, but families often appreciate the cargo room of a family‑size minivan. If you prefer a familiar counter, check the Alamo desk at MCO or plan a late‑night return via the Hertz return area.
Tips for international drivers
- Keep your passport, home licence, and IDP together when you drive.
- Use your phone’s offline maps for areas with weak signal.
- Mind school‑zone speed limits; signs flash during active times.
