International driving permit
Posted: Fri Sep 4, 2020 3:00pm
I’m hiring a car this year do I need to get international license or does it start 1 January 2021. Thanks for your help
Officially our UK driving licences are valid for car hire until 31st December 2020 (or longer depending on the outcome of Brexit negotiations). I've collected a hire car a couple of weeks ago (from Record Go at Alicante) using my UK licence with no questions.
However getting a 1949 IDP would be prudent, costs £5.50 and takes 5 mins in most UK post offices.
Hope this helps!

I agree with Rich, though you don't actually need one yet, for the money, it must be worth it for the peace of mind.
