Renting a car...

We have a visit planned to go and see family in the US in May.  We have a bit of a dilemma regarding transportation while we are there.  We will be there for 10 days.

We are looking at renting a car, however my Maryland license will have expired by then.  Will I be able to rent a car from Enterprise ect...on my UK License and will I have to pay loads extra because of it and for insurances??

Second scenario is my sister said I can borrow her car, however I am not sure how insurance would work with my having a UK license. 

Third scenario is attempting to renew my Maryland license online, however the website says that because my driver number is not linked to a car, they are unable to proceed.

I know you can drive in the US on a UK license for 30 days.

Any advice greatly appreciated!!

You can usually book rental cars at cheaper rates (with a UK license) on UK sites (expedia.co.uk, etc).

Don't know about your other questions, but I know for MD licenses they only allow certain people (don't know the criteria, as it seems shrouded in mystery) to renew online - everyone else has to go through the lovely experience at the DMV (which usually includes proving you live in MD with official mail, etc).

Hope that helps.

Thanks, will look at .co.uk websites.

I have read all the criteria for renewing MD license online and I seem to meet it all apart from the fact that my drivers number is not linked to a car.
