Driving on a Manitoba driver license in Germany?

Hi there,
I am heading to Germany this summer and a friend has offered that I can use her car to tour around. (HUGE blessing!) I am wondering if I will have to get an international driver's license or will my Manitoba license suffice?
If anyone can give me the heads up, that would be great!

yea i drove with an ontario driver's license and there were no problems, I think manitoba will work too

Your driver's license is fine. there's no such things as an international drivers license needed. Although you should go to the CAA and get a document that states the information of your drivers license in multiple languages. It's about 20$ if I remember correctly and it will be of great help if you get arrested. Not sure if it's mandatory to have but I highly suggest. better be prepare than sorry.

until you see the gas prices

you manitoba dvs lic should be fine. good advice from clapoti also. i have been stopped by german cops who don't speak english, and have not had a problem even though i am using a michigan license

what areas are you planning to see?

Thanks for the info Clapoti! Looking forward to seeing a bit of your area.

Bless you,

There is such a thing as an international drivers license, and I know that it isn't valid in all European Countries, and likewise, not all European licenses are valid in Canada.

maybe not in like albania or some weird country but its probably valid everywhere in the EU, especially Germany
