International Driver Rent a Car

We get this a lot: "Hi, I'm from Ireland or Japan or Singapore or Jupiter or from wherever you are from and all I have is my Irish license. Is that OK? Do I need an international driver's license?"

The short answer is YES and NO. YES you can use your Irish driver's license and NO, you do not need an international driver's license. That's it. Plain and simple. As long as you can prove that you can legally drive in your country or on this planet, then you can rent foreign license car rentals in California.
