International driving permit (licence)

An international driving permit (IDP), often (incorrectly) referred to as an international driving licence (IDL), is any valid, legal identity document that allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle in any country or jurisdiction which recognises the document. To be valid, the IDP must be accompanied by a valid driving licence issued in the applicant’s country of residence.

The IDP, whose A6 size (148 × 105 mm) is slightly larger than a passport, is a multi-language translation of the driver’s licence from the issuing nation, complete with photograph and vital statistics.

Make sure you are allowed to drive the class of vehicle you are renting
