bevrun Posted April 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2004 No, just a valid driver's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted April 30, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well, you should check with your rental company. The one we are booked with in Greece demands an international permit. It's cheap, it lasts a year, and the only hassles are getting your picture taken (again), and going and getting the thing. Here in Canada I am getting mine from the CAA, so I presume that AAA offices do it too.

AltaJoe Posted April 30, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2004 This another one of those situations where you could be penny wise and pound foolish. The International Drivers Permit costs about $10 plus a buck or two for the picture. AAA is a great place to get it done. You may not need it, but there is a very, very good chance that if you do not have it you may find yourself standing at a counter wondering "What the hell do we do now" Pacific Princess Oct.

Rare Hlitner Posted April 30, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Have never needed one in Greece, or most other countries. This being said, I recommend them for those renting in Italy. You don't neen it to rent in Italy, but if you are stopped by the Police they may (or may not) take you into the station if they are not in a good mood.
