Some hire car companies say that you need one. No hire car companies
have ever asked me for one anywhere.

When I visited Sicily, I offered the IDL I specifically got for this
purpose, and the rental car agent looked at it askance and asked for my
regular DL!


that's because the IDL is worthless without it.

It isn't a replacement license, it's a supplement

My point was that the IDL was unnecessary.

I haven't bothered, since.


Just because no-one bothered with it on one (or more) occasion(s) doesn't
mean that the next person wont
