No, the overseas rental companies didn't make me jump through any special hoops to drive their manual tranny cars. I think they might have told me the cars were MT, and asked if that was OK. That's logical, given the incompetence of the average American with MTs. They were probably happy I could drive MT, so they wouldn't have to dig up an AT.
