Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Colombia, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well.

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
