Hi Spurs.Good result for you yesterday!!According to Gov.uk 'You do not need an IDP to drive here for periods up to 6 months.'Strange if its different for hire cars, but will be interested in the responses.I'm also interested in whether one is needed to drive through France. I have an old style paper licence, and Gov.uk says to check with French Embassy.Yes it was a good game. I can answer your query as I did come across that case today. You actually need 2 permits an 1968for France and 1949 for Spain . All paper (non photo licences need one )
Do we now need an international driving permit for a hire car in Spain?
As far as I can see on official sites there is no requirement for a UK resident to obtain an IDP whilst driving as a visitor in the EU, as long as you have the pink licence. The car hire companies rules are for every hirer irrespective of whether they are from the uk or Ukraine. That is why when I produced my uk licence no IDP was requested or maybe she couldn’t be blessed either way at £5.50 not worth fretting.
