Drivers license with International license?

Do we carry both our state and our international license? Or is just the international ok along with our passport?
We are driving in Austria and Germany.
Thanks! 12 more days!!

You must bring your state driver license. They won't rent the car to you if you don't. You also bring your Int'l Permit (it's merely a translation of your state license), in case the rental company asks for it (they may not) or in case you are stopped by traffic police.

The IDP is clear that it is not valid without your state-issued drivers license. It has no authority of its own.
