Slightly larger than a passport, the International Driving Permit (IDP), sometimes referred to as an International Driving License (IDL), is basically a multi-language translation of your personal driver’s license. Whether or not you’ll be required to have and hold an IDP during your trip, however, varies quite a bit between countries. In any case, in order for it to be valid, your IDP must always be accompanied by your own driver’s license.

To avoid any inconveniences, contact us at booking@rwandacars.com and find out if the country you are traveling to requires an International Driver’s Permit. We’re always happy to help.
