Get an International Driving Permit before you go. Some say you don't need it, and you probably won't, but it is cheap and good to have.
I’ve never needed one and I’ve rented cars in France, Germany, Italy, Belgium. What good does the international permit do?

If you have to surrender your license, you can hand them the IDL and not your state DL. i, too, have driven numerous times in Europe, but carried my IDL for that reason. Small money for peace of mind.
I gave my co-workers a few 'when in Europe. driving tips. Stay in the right hand lane when on the continent unless you are passing. Leave blinker on until you pass. Do not flash lights at anyone, just use the blinkers.
When you enter the traffic circle, use your blinkers. If taking an immediate turn, use the right blinker. If exiting straight or taking a 'left', put the left blinker on. Change to your right blinker as you approach your exit road.
If driving in UK, reverse the lanes and turning blinker instructions.

Not sure about those countries but in Austria it is the law for non-EU to carry an IDP. An IDP explains your driving privileges in several different languages.
