I forgot Chile on my list - also Easter Island, which I thought was a lot of fun, just driving around in a simple 4WD without all the bells and whistles!

Grew up being driven throughout Europe as my parents had a camper van but just realised I haven't driven through that many of the countries I've visited since adulthood!

I have driven manual transmissions most of my life, so renting a manual is no big deal. Driving on the left was pretty easy to adjust to - hardest part was knowing where to look for other traffic. Driving a manual on the left took a little adjustment.

Hmm, my list is pretty short, although I added a couple of places over the summer last year.

US (home)
Canada
Cayman Islands (Left side driver seat, left side road, speed in MPH)
Shetland Islands (Right side drive, left side road, auto)
Scotland (Right side drive, left side road, 6 speed)
Icleand (Left side drive, Right side road)

Scotland had me worried, because the only place I could find to rent from only had manual cars, and it had probably been 15 years since I'd last driven one, plus of course the drivers seat being on the wrong side of the car. Ended up not being a big deal, I got used to it far faster than I expected, although I was somewhat thrown for a loop because it was the first 6 speed I'd ever driven, so the gear pattern was different than what I had been used to. I did find that my left arm was sore for a few days after from all the shifting, we did a lot of driving on smaller roads that you'd have to stop and let oncoming traffic pass.

Lot of credit to the places in the Shetlands and Thorso, they were very easy to deal with, and either dropped the car off at the pier or came and picked us up (and then dropped off at the end). Excellent customer service.

I forgot about Bahrain, where motorists drive on the right side of the road; so that adds up to 27 countries.

I faced a similar situation on a work assignment a few years ago in Africa. I'd never driven on the left, never owned a stick and hadn't driven on one in 20 years. None of my friends had a standard to borrow and only one local driving school even offered instruction. I eventually bought a used vehicle with standard a couple of months before the trip to practice. I still have a manual transmission vehicle and quite enjoy it. I save lots of money when renting in Europe.

Countries where I've driven rentals: USA, Canada, Venezuela, UK, South Africa, Namibia, Spain.

Here's my list:
US

Canada
Spain
Italy (rental company tried to charge me for pre-existing dents but I had plenty of video/pictures as evidence of my innocence)
UK
Croatia

I'd at least done it in the past, and figured I could pick it back up, and my wife had driven more recently in a stick, so she was the fallback position. One thing I did find kinda interesting was the car had auto start/stop, which I think actually stopped it from stalling a couple of times as I got used to things.

Only a few:
* Kenya (was in 1978, I won't do ik today, too dangerous)
* South Africa
* Australia
* New Zealand
* Fiji
* Samoa
* Spain (Canary Islands)
* Italia (Sicilia)
* Portugal
* France

Indonesia is a country in which I only used taxis. Cheap and self driving is too scary.

Moped:
* Suriname
* Cook Isl. (Rarotonga)
* Indonesia (Bali) Never again !!

Not many. I tend to ride a lot of trains, walk, and recently use ride services frequently. You would think I would drive more being such a car enthusiast, but I just don't feel like I need a car in most places or it is a real hassle to rent.

US (home, all 50 states in my car or a rental)
Canada (my own car and rentals)
England
Australia
New Zealand
Greece


Driving on the left does not bother me.

[Edited to remove Mexico and Canada. I misread the thread's title as "Countries where you've driven a *car*.)

Mexico was the first place I drove at the legal driving age—I drove a gigantic Ford LTD sedan on the old dirt-and-sand Baja highway, south of San Felipe, on my sixteenth birthday.
