You do not need an International Driving Permit to rent and drive a
car in western Europe anymore.  A valid U.S. license from any state
is all that is needed.  From personal experience I know this is true
in England, France, Belgium, Switzerland, (West) Germany, Luxembourg,
and the Netherlands.  I understand that eastern European countries
are a different matter.  If you have any doubts, check with your
car rental company.  If you are particularly paranoid, get one anyway.
Check your white pages for the AAA office nearest you.
