Can I rent a car in Britain with an American driver's license when traveling in Britain?

Yes, you can.

Most European countries recognize American driver's license, such as Britain and Ireland, but Italy, Germany and Spain, for example, require you to hold IDP (International Driver's License), which can be obtained from American Automobile Association.

Of course, you have to show your passport when you rent a car. When renting a car, you must make sure that the cross-border documents and insurance are in the car. If your car insurance in the United States includes overseas insurance, you don't have to go to the car rental company for insurance.
