Rick, I don't have the answer to your question, but I would suggest that you study for and take the test to get your actual European license or permit. Since you state that you've already rented in Germany, France and the UK, I'm sure you've noticed all the differences yourself, I just moved to Germany, and I was surprised by all the rules that differed here in Europe. and whatever you do plan on doing, I highly recommend at least a passing glance through a study guide or some such thing. I was surprised by all the signs that they use around here, not all of them are obvious. I hope you enjoy your trip!!!
