Hiring a Car

There are two things to consider: what you ask i.e. about hiring a car, and what the driving law is. If the Guardia Civil Trafico stop you, only the photo one or an international driving permit (get them from local AA offices) is valid - and remember there are on-the-spot fines for drivers AND passengers not wearing seat belts everywhere - towns, villages, motorways - and in the back of taxis.
It depends whether you mean the paper part that you get with a photolicence, or the old-fashioned green paper licence: The first one needs you to have both this paper part AND the photolicence (and they often ask for passport too!); the old paper licences are not really valid Europe-wide, so you should really upgrade to one of them. It is also very much like a Spanish residencia card, and most supermarkets, shops and filling stations will accept them as photo-ID which saves you carting your passport around with you at the risk of it being stolen.
The change to a photo-licence is free if you are notifying DVLA in Swansea of a change of address, so if your details are not up to date, now's the time to do it!
