A nonresident may rent a vehicle when?

• A. The home state does not require that the operator hold a license
• B. The renter has a passport
• C. The vehicle is a motorcycle only
• D. The renter is under 18 years old

Answer: (A)

Licensing requirements for nonresidents when renting a vehicle hinge on whether the home state requires the operator to hold a license. If the home state does not require a license at all, there is no license to satisfy for operation, so the nonresident may rent a vehicle. A passport alone doesn’t substitute for a valid driver’s license, so it wouldn’t satisfy licensing requirements. The fact that the vehicle is a motorcycle doesn’t change the rule about needing a license to operate a vehicle, and being under 18 is generally not allowed for standard vehicle rentals.
