Just realised I can't remember if the last few times I needed an IDP or not. Do rental companies ask for one? I have a Canadian (Quebec, ie it's in French) license.
I read some links and it seems Canadian license holders do not need an IDP in Germany but I thought I should ask.

No, you don't need it. Renting on a Canadian licence in Germany is perfectly fine and nobody will even bat an eyelid. They'd before surprised if you showed up with one of those intl things, which nobody uses anymore.

it's sadly still required in Japan - I wish they moved into the year 2000...
