Whether you need an international driver’s license to rent a car depends on the country where your current driver’s license was issued. If your license is in a language that uses the Latin alphabet and includes a photo, you may not need an international driver’s license. However, if your license is in a different script (such as Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic, etc.), it’s recommended to have an international driving permit. This permit serves as a translation and should be carried alongside your original driver’s license. Always check with the car rental company for specific requirements before your trip.
