You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well.

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
