Is it true that you cannot drive a car on holiday in the US if you have ever been banned from driving in the UK? I would have thought that if youve got your license back then it will be valid everywhere but have been told that in the USA they will never let you drive there. I know you need a visa to enter the States if you have any criminal convictions but what about driving there?

nothing to do with the licencing authorities per-se, but everything to do with the rental companie's insurance rules. the following is from Alamo's terms & conditions, but most of the rental chains have similar requirements:-

If a renter/driver does not meet the applicable rental requirements, including the guidelines for driver's licenses and driving records, they may be denied a rental. Alamo is not responsible for the failure of any renter/driver to qualify for a rental under these requirements or guidelines.

Rental privileges are denied if a driver's license is suspended or his/her record includes, but is not limited to, one of the following:

* One or more convictions for reckless driving within the past 36 months.
* DWI/DWAI/DUI within the past 36 months.
* Three or more moving violations within the past 24 months.
* No valid License.
* Two or more accidents within the past 24 months.
* Fail to report/leave scene of accident within past 36 months.
* Operate without a license within past 36 months.
* Possession of stolen vehicle or use in crime within past 36 months.
