CAA SCO statement on International Driving Permits

THORNHILL, ON, Feb. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) is offering a full refund to travellers who purchased an International Driving Permit (IDP) and passport photos on Wednesday February 13 or Thursday February 14, 2013.

Customers who bought an IDP and passport photos at a CAA South Central Ontario location will have until Friday March 15, 2013 to obtain a refund.

Customers must bring back the IDP issued and the original receipt to any CAA SCO store.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. We understand the frustration and confusion among travellers and are offering a 30 day period to obtain a full refund.

While enforcement of this new law in Florida may not take place at least for now, we continue to recommend for those Canadians travelling to Florida in the next few days, to consider obtaining an IDP. For those who will not be travelling for some days, and those already in Florida, we advise to wait for further developments.  Please visit www.caasco.com for updated information.

CAA South Central Ontario is one of nine CAA clubs across Canada. This refund is only available to CAA South Central Ontario customers.
