Subject: International Drivers License

Hi to all We have been off the air for a while, so maybe this question is redundant. We are going to Tuscany at the end of September, and will rent a car in Florence. Some friends have advised us that we require an International Drivers License, and the the normal insurance coverage that we get using our Visa Aerogold credit card is not sufficient and that the rental companies insist on extra coverage. Any experience with this? All the best, Mike
