A friend is going to the USA in a few months time. He's about to get his full UK drivers licence. Will this drivers licence work in the USA on a permanent or temporary basis as long as he is insured on the vehicle he will be driving? If not, is there some sort of transfer that you can get, and how much would that cost?
Your friend can legally drive in the US with his UK license. Drivers with licenses in languages other than English can get an international license with their information in multiple languages but this won't be necessary here.
Not sure how long your friend can drive on his UK license. At a certain point he will be required to acquire a license in the state where he resides.
There shouldnt be a problem. Insurance is going to be really high though.
