I usually drive to Italy with my old style UK

I usually drive to Italy with my old style UK paper drivers licence with no photo. Back in early 2020 this was also good to show for car hire. Have the rules changed since Brexit? is an old style UK paper licence still valid for car hire? The internet is pretty vague, the Italian Embassy site is silent. Advice?

Its more an EU question, and the EU says that an old paper style licence should be replaced by the end of 2023 at the latest.

I'd play safe and get a photo driving licence. It's pretty easy to do.

You can do it online.

Thanks Alan, my paper licence has never been an issue in the past but Brexit might have changed things. I will have to bite the bullet.
