UK women are far more worried than men about getting behind the wheel overseas, with 73 per cent never having done so.
While 47 per cent have ruled out driving while on holiday abroad, the poll from TravelSupermarket found.
Battle of the sexes: Men are more happy than women driving abroad
Of the women who had driven abroad, 17 per cent said it was more difficult than driving in the UK, compared with 9 per cent of men.
The survey of 2,002 adults also found that men were far more likely to cause damage to hire cars abroad or fall foul of foreign driving rules.
Men were also keener than women to recommend continental driving to others and to pick racy cars to drive overseas.
Too scared: The majority of women won't drive while overseas, according to the survey
Bob Atkinson, of TravelSupermarket, said: 'Hiring a car is already a massively popular method of getting around when you're on holiday.
'Although driving abroad might seem a daunting prospect, it can be the enabler to a fantastic holiday and is far easier than you would imagine.'
