If you don't have a driver's license issued in Colombia, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own.

  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
