Driver's license requirements
There are some important driver’s license requirements in Poland that you should know about before renting a car there. Here is the main information you need to know: Poland recognizes valid foreign driver’s licenses that are issued in the EU or an EFTA member state as long as you are only in Poland for less than 185 days per year. If you plan to stay longer than that, you will need to get a Polish driving license. Poland will not recognize driver’s licenses outside of the EU or EFTA, including US driver’s licenses. If you do not have a license from the EU or EFTA, you’ll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Even if you have an IDP, you also have to carry your original driver’s license as you will be required to present both. A copy of your driver’s license is insufficient — you must always carry the original. Some rental car suppliers charge a young driver fee for drivers between the ages of 22 and 25 and a senior driver fee for drivers over the age of 65, along with additional requirements, so be sure to check the details in the rental conditions before booking
