Night Flying in the US

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if someone here could clear something up for me. I am an EASA PPL holder travelling to Florida in the next 2 weeks to carry out some hour building. I know that there is no such thing as a Night Rating/Qualification in the US, so I presumed I would be able to fly at night after a checkout with an instructor over there, as I do not have an EASA Night Rating on my License yet.

I have been in touch with two schools about the hour building and one of them says I can rent their planes for night flights once I have completed a checkout with them.... The other school says I can't fly at night because my FAA License is strictly based on my EASA License and I must have the rating on my EASA license first.

My question is, which school is right? Has anyone been in a similar position?

Thanks!
