Your island, your licence — what you need in Miami

Florida accepts a valid foreign driver’s licence for visitors. If your licence is in English, you don’t need an International Driving Permit (IDP). If it’s in French, Spanish, or Dutch, we recommend an inexpensive IDP as an English translation. Find your country below — the ones with a guide have a full page for you.

Connecting through Miami — car rental FAQ

Can I rent a car in Miami during a layover before my island flight?

Yes. iRent offers self-service pickup with a free 24/7 airport shuttle from MIA and FLL, plus after-hours key pickup — ideal if you land in Miami and continue to your island the next day. Rent for a few hours or several days.

I’m from the Caribbean — can I rent on my own country’s licence?

In most cases yes. Florida accepts a valid foreign licence for visitors. If your licence is in English (most Caribbean islands), you don’t need an International Driving Permit. If it’s in French, Spanish, or Dutch, we recommend an IDP. See your country in the table above.

Do you accept international / foreign cards?

Yes. iRent accepts Visa and Mastercard — debit or credit — including cards issued outside the US. A US credit card is not required; the card must be in the renter’s name.

What do I bring?

Your valid driver’s licence (plus an IDP if it’s not in English), your passport, and a Visa/Mastercard in your name. Add iRent’s collision & liability coverage at booking if you don’t carry US insurance.

What’s the minimum age?

21. Drivers aged 21–24 pay a small young-driver fee.

Do you serve both Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports?

Yes — free 24/7 shuttle from MIA (Miami Springs branch) and FLL (Dania Beach branch), convenient whether you fly into either airport before your island connection.
