Hello! This is my first-time post! I’ll be traveling to Ireland at the end of October and was looking to rent a car for a couple of days that I’ll be there. I made a reservation through booking.com and upon review of the “what you need at pick-up” I read that you need a drivers license that has been valid for at least 8 years or proof that you have held a valid drivers license for 8 years. What I read says:
“If you’ve had your driving licence renewed and it only shows the date it was renewed, you'll need to prove when it was originally issued.
All drivers must have held their driving licence for at least 8 years.”
I don’t even think that most US DL are valid for more than 8 years, (maybe a few states) but just wondering if this is a normal thing to rent a car in Ireland or Europe in general, or if this is something that I shouldn’t worry about.
Thank y’all for any help or insight!
