Requirements regarding the documentation required vary from company to company and from time to time, so it is essential that you check directly with the rental company you are planning to use to verify what documentation they require.

Some companies will require just a national driver’s licence in Roman script, others will also require an international driving permit (IDP).

If you are required to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP), make sure you also carry your licence along with your IDP – the permit will not be valid without it. The IDP should not be confused with an international driver’s licence – a document that can be bought online but is not an official certificate and is not accepted globally.
