Spanish driving license and car rental

Postby casita-bonita » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:23 pm

I have this vague recollection in the back of my mind that I read somewhere that if you are the proud owner of a Spanish driving license and want to rent a car in the USA that you need to get hold of an international driving permit.

Been a few years since I rented a car in the USA and at that time I still had my UK licence. Needed nothing other than the plastic licence and (at the time) paper counterpart.

From memory...I think that some US states require an International driving licence , so probably better to obtain it, I don't think that it's that difficult to arrange.
