intl driver's license for a POV in Germany
I've never gotten an international driver's license for any rental car. <BR><BR>I was recently told I may need one for a POV in Germany, which I thought was odd.<BR><BR>Is anyone aware of any rule about this, for POVs? What if you are going on to a military base? (aside from potentially needing military ID or a sponsor that is)

For those Fodorites that have never been in the military POV is privately owned vehicle. <BR><BR>Having stated that I have never been asked for an international driver's license for anything in over 25+ trips to Germany and Europe....most of them driving. <BR><BR>I have entered old Army posts where I was one time stationed and have never been asked for an international driver's license. One trooper just let me drive in...doubt that happens anymore. <BR><BR>If you feel the need, get one. They are not expensive and you will feel better having it with you. I can just tell you what has happened with me.

thanks Bob. It is actually for my boyfriend, whose parents live there and who I am taking to the airport in a few hours.<BR><BR>Last minute packing, last minute Xmas buying, and the last minute argument about why he has to spend an hour running around today trying to get an intl drivers license b/c he'll be driving his parents' car and going on base, u.s.w.<BR><BR>I told him he was wasting his time but the point may be moot anyway. it's all good, thanks!
