I found a website that says you need to get a license check online(to make sure you are a good driver) to rent a car in the UK. Is this necessary/true? Thanks!
It appears to apply to U.K.-licensed drivers, not foreigners.
Nothing about it here, for example:

Although they "reserve the right" to check if they wish. Not sure how they would gain access to US drivers' info.
it's for UK licence holders only
Thank you so much!! :)
