Driving in Haiti with a foreign licence
Bring an IDP
Rental desks and local authorities in Haiti commonly ask foreign drivers to carry an IDP alongside their national licence. Haiti drives on the right; an IDP is recommended with your home licence, though conditions mean most visitors arrange local drivers.
