IDP for Scotland
I have always picked up an International Driving Permit for anywhere in Europe - France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain .. and have never once had to show it, even in Italy where it is supposed to be required.
Will be driving in Scotland for the first time this September, and I've seen on another website that the IDP is not required where English is the main language. Is there any reason to get one this time?
Thanks

In Scotland they speak (a manner of) English so they wouldn't need a translation - which is all an IDP is. A couple of websites (including one rental agency I'm aware of) say you need one -- but nope -- no need at all.

>>IDP isn't required for the UK, but car hire companies may insist on you having one before they'll rent to you<<
In more than 100 rentals in the UK I have never ever (not once) been asked to show an IDP.
