I've just checked the text on it, and it only has a few words, the most important one being "Válido" next to 18-07-2017. I'll ask Hertz about it, but I hope I can go along with just it.
Thanks.
You will find few French speaker outside QC and other major French speaking communities.
I ask my friend who owns a chain of major car rental franchise in the Greater Toronto Area:
- They will accept licenses in English and French. If it is from QC they have a reference card to check the relevant data.
- As French is the official language they will also accept licenses in French. It will be scanned and sent to local head office for verification. If it is from France it is straight-forward as they have references. Other French language licenses will take longer.
- His chain requires an International Driving Permit if it is not in English or French as policy.
YMMV
