You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
