Do you need an International Driving Permit?
In most countries, you'll need an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence to drive or rent a car legally. It translates your details into 12 languages so police, border officers and rental desks can read and verify them on the spot. Even where it isn't strictly required, carrying an IDP saves you from costly misunderstandings — it's recognised in 189+ countries under the 1949 Geneva and 1968 Vienna UN Conventions.
