What is an International Driving Permit (IDP)?


An International Driving Permit (IDP) is your key to cruising foreign roads. This handy document translates your driver’s license, making it easier to navigate different countries’ driving regulations. While not always mandatory, most destinations recommend it to avoid any bumps in the road. Think of it as a shortcut – it lets you skip additional tests or applications. Just remember to get your IDP in the same country that issued your driver’s license, and always carry both it and your original license for a smooth ride.

Why carry an IDP?


An IDP translates your driver’s license into multiple languages, making it easier to rent cars and communicate with authorities in many foreign countries. Often required by law, it’s your key to safe and legal driving abroad.
