Nice site!
When I’m on travel, especially in other country the first thing came up to my mind is how can I interact to the people with the country I visited. Just like last year when my older sister and I together with my Aunt Nina went to Italy, We have a great time and lots of local residence we mingle with but personally I have a hard time communicating because of language barrier so I decided to take sort of learning session as I found Learn Italian language it was fun learning new languaes, this reference help me develop my communication skills. Also these Sprachaufenthalt and studiare inglese Londra really give me a great help in learning other languages. I’m so excited to visit other places; I like to travel mostly in Eastern and Western Europe I just love to visit them, if I have a chance I will really take a shoot. I hope Aunt Nina will invite me again to go along with her. I think she will hire me as part time supplementary personnel for her business travel. I can’t wait for the next trip; I just love to talk other people using foreign languages, also I highly recommend corso di inglese a Cork …its great though!

I still get many e-mails asking about using your foreign drivers license in the USA. I also get questions about Interenational drivers licenses.

Normally, you can use your foreign drivers license in the USA. It must be a valid drivers license that has not expired. You can rent a car and drive with your foreign license. Some car rental agencies require that you have been driving at least one year, so your license must be more than one year old. Other rental agencies do not have such restrictions. Many car rental agencies require that you be at least 22 or 25 years old to rent one of their vehicles. They do not wish to rent to young less-experienced drivers. You should check the requirements on the web pages of the rental companies.

Typically, you do not need an international drivers license to drive in the USA. If you have a foreign drivers license that is written only in some language other than English, it may be useful to have an international drivers license. If you are stopped by the police, they must be able to recognize that your drivers license is legitimate and current. An international drivers license gives the information in many languages including English. It can be useful in enabling the police to understand.

I received another e-mail from someone wanting to buy a car in the USA, use it to tour the country, then sell it before returning to Europe. I have repeatedly advised everyone that this is not a good idea. It can be very difficult and very expensive to attempt this. It is usually much easier and cheaper to just rent a car.

It is easy enough to buy a car. If you have some money, you can give it to the seller of a car and the vehicle is yours. There are plenty of cars to buy in all price ranges. You can purchase cars from reputable car dealers, from not-so-reputable car dealers, or from private individuals.

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to obtain the license tags necessary to legally drive an auto. You must first register the car in the state where you purchased it, then you must provide proof of valid liability insurance before you can purchase the license plates for the vehicle.

In order to register the car in any state, you must provide a permanent residential address in that state. This can be difficult for a tourist. In the days prior to 911, some less reputable dealers might have used a fraudulent address to facilitate such registration. Now, the penalties for such actions can be rather severe, so no dealer is likely to do it.

The price for liability insurance is dependent upon your past driving record in the USA. If you have no past driving history in the USA, they will typically deny coverage or charge some exhorbitantly high rate.

As you can see, this process is not very friendly to tourists coming to the USA for short stays. If you come to the USA as a student or as a worker, you will likely have a residential address in some state and can thus register a car with little difficulty. Your liability insurance rate might still be high due to your lack of driving record in the USA.
