FloridaHockeyGuy Posted April 21 #1 Share Posted April 21 For those who have rented cars in some ports ssuch as Malaga and Palma...have you ever been asked for an International Drivers License? I know that you do not need one in Portugal, but wondering about Spain. It's not about the $20, just the hassle to get pictures done, go to AAA, etc. Thanks.

It's best to have the IDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, IDL is only needed if your driver licence is not written with Latin alphabet. But the best you can do is sending an email and asking. What it is sure eLicences are only valid if issued in Spain All licences delivered in any EU country will be accepted definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivace91 Posted April 21 #4 Share Posted April 21 Yes, (for Canadians at least) you do need an IDL for Spain if you want to rent a car. It is not "required" in Portugal but is recommended. The CAA is the only legal issuing authority in Canada. My daughter's fiancé had one and was asked to show it when they rented cars in Spain and southern France last spring. You can probably look this up on the official US gov. travel website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
