Just for your information for the future, an international drivers license is only a translation of your drivers license. It isn't a license to drive. If your drivers license is from and English speaking country and you go to an English speaking country you don't need one.

Luv2Travel,<BR> I got one before I traveled to Europe and it was not requiered the two places where I thought it would be needed. I thought that it was necessary to rent a car, but was told that it was not. I thought that the customs guard at the Swiss border would want it, but he did not either. I enjoyed my trip to the AAA office to pick it up though. Lot's of cool travel gear, etc. Tim

Heads up in Greece.<BR><BR>Last year Auto Europe would not rent any automobiles in Greece without an International Drivers License/Permit out of the Athens airport.<BR><BR>I had to show my license along with my rental confirmation. Without the license I was told I would not get the auto.

There is no such thing as an international drivers license. It is an international driving permit.<BR><BR>Some people mistakenly call the international driving permit an international drivers license.<BR><BR>Above posters are correct--the IDP is a translation of your regulary driving license--you must carry your license as the IDP is not one.
