Since it looks like I'll be driving around Ireland for six months (mostly around Dublin), I needed to get an International Driving Permit. If you're just going for vacation, you don't need to get one of these. However, if you're going to be in a foreign country for an extended stay you need one.
So, I venture off to the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles and Terry tells me I need to get it from a AAA office. I was confused - not only because I had to go to AAA for an official document, but also because I got great service at the DMV!
It turns out that getting an International Driving Permit is pretty easy. Just bring two passport photos (I got mine at Walgreens for $8), your driver's license, and $15 to AAA. It took me longer to get my photos at Walgreens than it took me to get the permit at AAA.
Today I'm giving kudos to AAA for providing a needed service, efficiently and at an affordable price. Also, I'm giving Terry at the Libertyville, Illinois DMV kudos for surprising me by being helpful.
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a customer service experience?
