Do You need an International Driving Permit to drive in Europe.
In France and Italy you can rent a car and do not need to show an International Permit, only your drivers
license from your home country and perhaps your passport. Italian law requires that you carry an IDP as
does Spain, Portugal, Greece, and several of the former Soviet Union countries. The International driver's
permit is issued by the American Automobile Association AAA in the States and the CAA in Canada. The
cost is $15 and not a bad bit of insurance against running into trouble while driving in Europe.
