The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) said it’s offering a full refund to travellers who purchased an International Driving Permit (IDP) and passport photos Feb. 13-14.
It all stems from the Florida drivers’ licence issue, where there’s a new law in place stating all tourists have to have an IDP.
Florida police have been ordered not to enforce the law, but despite that, the CAA said it’s still a good idea to have the permit, because the law is still on the books.
But for those who don’t feel they need it, you can bring back the permit and your receipt for a full refund.
We are offering a full refund to those who purchased an IDP and passport photos onFeb 13 or Feb 14.

I’d like to get it in writing from my insurance company that they will pay up if I have an accident in Florida or Georgia while driving without a legal license. It’s all very well and good that the Insurance Bureau of Canada says it would “frown” on any company refusing insurance because of the misguided law, but laws are laws and if the insurance company lawyers can save the company from paying my claim, who will be frowning then? Right, me!
nice move CAA, what a classy operation !!
