A NUMBER of British tourists are being denied rental cars in Spain if they fail to show an international driving permit (IDP), it has emerged. Christine Lewis, from Somerset, was this month left stranded at Malaga airport with her husband after being told their UK licences were not valid. Christine claims the company, Delpaso”…………..

An IDP is not required by Spanish law however some hire companies insist on it so for that reason I've always advised folk to get one anyway.
A good time for a reminder to actually read the hire companies T&C's as if a IDP is required it will be stated therein.
The really stupid thing is that IDP's were invented to overcome potential language problems but as the current UK licence is in the EU mandated format it renders any IDP totally worthless!
