Hi, I had read in my guidebooks that an Internal Driver's license was not required to rent our car in Portugal. The regulations on the Alamo website are a bit ambiguous (US-centric, not unusual), so since I'm Canadian I have asked for clarification from them.

Some websites say it's absolutely not needed, as long as your license is in English. Rick Steves say you might get into trouble if you don't have it!!

We got one for driving in Greece two years ago. Our rental agency appeared to be the only one in the country that required it, but, that's okay. It's just that I'd rather not bother if I don't have to, lots to do, not much time to do.

Any thoughts?
