Although most countries accept a US driver's license, I found this interesting from the Seattle Times:
International driving permits are official translations of a motorist's driver's license for use when driving in another country. AAA is one of two organizations authorized by the U.S. State Department to sell the documents to valid U.S. driver's license holders. The American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA) is the other.
The Federal Trade Commission has alerted consumers to the scams, and posted information at www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/idpalrt.shtm.
The FTC says fake licenses are sold through unsolicited e-mail for $60 to $400. AAA sells them for $15.
