Hi, we are British & have owned a home & car in the Villages for past 17yrs. Initially we had to have a Florida licence to get insurance as we did not have a US driving record but a few years ago we were able to obtain Florida insurance on our British licence from State Farm in Wildwood. It was a little more expensive but meant that we did not have to renew our licence twice a year as this was tied to the I 94 immigration permit which meant each time we left, the licence became invalid & on returning 3 months later we were in default so had to pay $15 each plus the cost of renewing both of our licences Almost $300 a year in total; but it was the inconvenience of having to go immediately to the Driving Licence centre to wait (sometimes for hours) for a slot. It was difficult as we had hire car until such time as we had renewed . Hope you will be as happy as we are in Tamarind Grove.
