国外驾车大体上是这么几种情况：
有的国家是直接承认中国驾照，比如瑞士，美国，你带不带翻译件都是合法驾车。旧版驾照没有英文，带一个英文翻译件只是方便该国车行和警察了解驾照内容。新版驾照完全没必要。
有的国家承认翻译公证之后的中国驾照，比如德国，澳洲，但必须在规定的翻译机构翻译公证，一般来讲必须找取得他们国家翻译资格的人进行翻译，中国公证处翻译没用的。
有的国家不承认中国驾照，同时也不允许旅游者考当地驾照，那你除非另有其他国家驾照，否则怎么都无法合法驾车。比如日本，韩国。
总之无论哪一种情况，新版驾照的公证处翻译都毫无意义的。至于租车行的要求是另一码事。那你要个别问租车行了。——可能你合法驾车但很难租到车，也许你轻易租到车但并没有合法驾车的资格。
