Yes...they have to check that you are licenced to drive the type of vehicle you are hiring.....
Insurance purposes... |

in canada you will need a driver's licence and might have to pay more for the insurance under the first time drivers law |

I am not so sure. Look at Caprice, the model. She was banned in Britain for drunk driving and then was pictured a few days later in Spain, I think, driving a hired car |

this is one of the very first things they check, without a valid drivers license you cant hire a car. if they give you a car and you dont have a valid license, they could get into trouble in cases where you might make an accident due to their neglegence. rather get a valid one before you get into trouble with the local police also, because they can ask you for the license and will fine you and the company heavily if it is expired. |

They should, If they don't you may not be insured. |

I take it that your licence is'nt valid!! If you go to a dodgy hire place they probably would'nt check, but would you want the wheels to fall off and not be insured when you are in hospital needing treatment? |

If the license you are using has an expired date on it, they will more than likely see that date. If, you are using a license with a valid date, they will not check. There is no way they can possibly check up on these abroad. |

Generally they do - certainly the car hire places I've used in the States, Greece, Spain and France have done. I'm sure there are some dodgy hire places that don't care to check though. |

IN some countries they do, in others they don't.
I remember a Carrabean location where a photocopy was all required....
In EU, US, Canada I know they check, and even make a copy of your licence for their records. |
