I have had a Spanish drivers license since November 2018. Most all rental car companies I had talked to say that you have to have your license for at least 1 year to rent a car in Europe. I have had a drivers license in the US for 40+ years but that license expired last month. So the rental car companies treat me as thought I had never driven before. Does anyone know of a company that does not have the 1 year requirement or a way around it? I do not want to buy a car but would love to rent one every now and then.
