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

  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
