panu ba makakuha ng international license?? dito ba sa pinas pwede kumuha?

**Ungas** · August 31st, 2003 01:02 AM

Pwede na ba ngayon kahit pro driver's license holder?

Alam ko dati pre-requisite ang pro driver's license to obtain a temporary international driver's license. La-os na talaga ako sa balita. :D

Sa Canada pagkakatanda ko basta hindi ka naman magtatagal dun (aka tourist), pwede na yung license ng home country mo.

Ewan ko lang sa ibang lugar.

otep: kahit non-pro ka pwede??

in the US you can drive for 3 months using the license of your home country (it varies from state to state but it generally holds true)....ewan ko lang if it matters whether it's a pro or a non-pro license.

one advantage of the international license is that it comes with a automatic TPL policy in case you hit anybody while you're here.

Non-pro lang gamit ko nung nag international license ako..... Nung hinuli ako nung pulis hindi pwede yung international license, kailangan kasama yung original license mo from your country (non-pro in my case). May plano kasi kaming kumuha ng sasakyan noon kaya kumuha kami ng international license para sa proof of previous insurance (TPL as noted by M54). I saved 50% on my new car insurance ($400 din yun). Pero kung dadalaw ka lang sa US as tourist at babalik ka rin sa Pinas, pwede na non-pro license dyan sa atin. Three months nga lang as M54 also mentioned.

Macky: So you mean pwede yung non-pro ko sa US. Sa L.A. lang naman siguro ako drive to las vegas. Tsaka less than a month lang ako dun. so I dont need to change my license na ba?

Also how about the insurance?? Panu kaya arrangement nun.

thanks

the AAP (former PMA) is the place to go for an int'l license. i got one once when i had to drive in the US (Kansas and Missouri) back in '97, and did not need to get a pro license for it. in fact, home country driver's license lang ang hinanap ng Avis, at na bale-wala lang ang int'l drivers license ko doon

the insurance aspect then was an option...you could buy insurance if you wanted to, for the duration of the car rental. other agencies, insurance was a given kaya mas mahal.

No need for Int'l DL while visiting the US. Your non-pro or pro DL is valid for three months. Just bring your passport with you also while driving.

Insurance is optional if you are renting a car but I strongly suggest to get the no-liability coverage. I think it is an additional $9/day. At least peace of mind. No liability Ins releases you from from any occurence, fault or no fault, you just return the car and walk away.

...3mos. pa ba validity? kala ko kasi 30 days na lang. feeling ko kasi andaming nabago ever since 9/11.

Doc,

Malilimutin ako pero kahit ano pa yung offer ko available pa rin yon..... paalala mo nga lang :D

**Macky** · September 1st, 2003 03:31 AM

Yung sa insurance, mas maganda siguro mag international license ka na lang para mas mura since may TPL coverage nga yon. Kung ayaw mo nung coverage nung insurance ng international license pede na yung sinabi ni FromDi.

Pede non-pro license natin sa Pinas sa US for 3 months. Di ko lang sure kung 3 months pa den..... baka 30 days na lang as scarab pointed out.

**mdpo** · September 1st, 2003 09:12 AM

As long as may inforced car insurance yung friend or auntie's car mo, covered ka na at yung kotse..... di mo na kailangang kumuha ng insurance. Pede mo nang i-drive yung kotse basta't may valid driver's license ka.

**mdpo** · September 1st, 2003 12:12 PM

Macky: So u mean I can drive her car maski wala siya by my side? ano yung inforced car insurance? alam kaya nila yun... ang alam ko kasi tpl or comprehensive

**FromDi** · September 2nd, 2003 05:03 AM

What Macky meant was as long as your aunt's automobile insurance policy is "in-force", ok ka. Of course with consent from your aunt. Tama Ba Mack?

Remember in the US, the automobile is the one that is insured not who is the driver. Although the insurance company will pay for the medical expense if any of the drivers are injured which is under the Bodily Injury coverage.
