Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well.

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
