Hi all,
Been a while since I posted anything on this site, but would ask if anyone can bring me up to speed on a driving licence matter. I often used to rent cars in Spain, and had no probs at all with the process. More recently I have had no real need to hire cars as our property in Santa Pola is conveniently near the airport and is well served by public transport. However we would like to visit a nephew who lives well off the beaten track, and a rented car would make this the easiest way of achieving this.
I am totally confused by the ins & outs of driving licence validity, UK vs. Spanish, so can some kind & patient soul explain to me whether or not, my full and pristine UK licence would still, as before, during those lovely days of old when we were in the EU, cover me for a rented car, without having to enter the convoluted labarynth of getting a Spanish licence as well?
Best wishes to all ,and thanks to those who have assisted me previously
