Driving in Guinea with a foreign licence
Bring an IDP
Rental desks and local authorities in Guinea commonly ask foreign drivers to carry an IDP alongside their national licence. Guinea drives on the right; an IDP is recommended with your home licence, and road conditions deteriorate fast outside Conakry.
