An international driving licence (IDL) is a translation of your regular driver’s licence that allows you to drive in most foreign countries. It is a legal requirement in some countries, and it is always a good idea to have one, even if it is not required.
There are many benefits to having an IDL. First, it can help you to avoid getting into trouble with the law. If you are caught driving without a valid IDL in a country where it is required, you could be fined, or even arrested. Second, an IDL can help you to rent a car. Many car rental companies require drivers to have an IDL before they will rent them a car. Third, an IDL can help you to communicate with the police and other officials. If you are involved in an accident or pulled over for a traffic violation, having an IDL can help you to explain your situation to the authorities.
