What documentation is needed for a tourist to drive a US citizen's car? - Black Suv in Between Purple Flower Fields

A common conclusion on Travel.SE says that buying a car as a tourist in the US is difficult because of registration and the time it takes to do the paperwork. However I have a friend in NYC who can buy any car I want in his name. After my trip to the States is finished, he would sell it and wire me the money.

So the question is — what documentation (insurance, etc.) is needed for me to drive my friend's car in the US as a tourist?



Best Answer

You basically need to be sure to own an insurance all the time a current driver license and that's it. If you're going to stay there for a couple days you can also rent a car and forget about all of that or ask for a private transportation service like ShuttleWizard or Lyft that provide services in all the US cities.

Have a nice trip!
