Hi,

My husband is hiring a car from Enterprise when he travels to the UK 🇬🇧 in December. 

I am going to ring them to check if he requires an IDP & I know you have to obtain it in the country that you reside in if you need one. 

I just wondered if anyone has had to obtain an IDP when traveling to the UK 🇬🇧?

We both have Spanish residency & a Spanish Driving license.

Thank-you in advance for any help on this matter.

😎

We had no problem with renting a car in the UK and no IDP was required nor requested.
