  • A license issued by a Canadian province.   
  • A license issued by a country that participated in the 1949 Geneva convention on Road Traffic or the 1943 Convention on the Regulation of Inter-American Automobile Traffic.

An International Driver’s Permit it not acceptable by itself.   In addition, at the time of rental, the renter, authorized driver or additional driver may be subject to an electronic DMV check or may be required to sign a declaration attesting to the fact that they have a valid license that is not currently suspended, revoked, expired, cancelled or surrendered.   A temporary driver’s license is acceptable provided it does not have any restrictions and is valid for the entire period of the rental.  Individuals with learner’s permits may not operate Avis vehicles.
