Hi folks. I am hoping that the combined PH brain can help me with an answer to my question. I am heading to Italy in 10 days or so, and have hired a car with Avis (through www.carhire3000.com - recommended) for a duration of the stay.
After checking around online, it would appear that I need only supply an EU Driving License (my photocard), which, being 27, I have. However, a friend mentioned this morning (don't all the best rumours start like this?) that I would need my paper counterpart too.

Can someone please confirm (as I don't have the time to call the hire company) which portion(s) of my license that I DEFINITELY need.

Really appreciate any help.
