Does Alamo require an IDP in Armenia?

Alamo's standard minimum rental age in the US is 21 (18 in Michigan and New York where state law requires it); renters aged 21-24 pay a "young/youthful driver" surcharge that averages about $25 per day but varies by location (for example roughly $13/day in Michigan and $20/day in New York), and under-25 renters may be restricted to certain car classes.

A major credit card in the primary renter's name is required at most locations; debit/check cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard or Discover logo are accepted at airport locations only with a ticketed return travel itinerary (Discover not accepted in Canada), and the name/address on the card and license must match, with a hold placed at pickup that reduces available funds.

Additional authorized drivers typically cost about $15 per day each (around $5/day in New York), and every additional driver must also meet the minimum-age and license requirements; some promotions or contracted/corporate rates waive the fee. Alamo requires each driver to hold a valid, unexpired driver's license; the license must have been issued before the rental and held for the qualifying period, with locations commonly expecting it to have been held for at least 1 year.

Vehicles rented in the US may typically be driven throughout the US and Canada but cannot be taken into Mexico; vehicles rented in Canada may be driven in Canada and the US. Cross-border and one-way rentals must be disclosed and authorized at the counter, and one-way availability and drop fees vary by location.

Alamo states an International Driving Permit cannot be used on its own and the home-country license must always be presented; an IDP is recommended (not required) when the license uses Roman/English letters, but is required when the license is in a non-Roman alphabet (e.g. Russian, Japanese, Arabic), with a typed professional translation as a substitute if no IDP is available.

Armenia has no toll roads, and the previous road-use charge for foreign-registered vehicles was abolished in 2018, so tourists pay nothing to use the highway network. No vignette is required.

Central Yerevan has paid parking marked by red lines, split into Zone A (around 300 AMD/hour) and Zone B (around 200 AMD/hour), with the first 15 minutes and 00:00-09:00 free. The system is fully cashless via app or terminal, and non-payment brings a 5,000 AMD fine.

Speed and red-light cameras are widespread and rental firms pass camera fines to the renter's card; common fines include roughly 5,000 AMD for minor speeding and 10,000 AMD for phone use without a hands-free kit. Seatbelt non-use is also fined, and serious speeding escalates sharply.

Call 102 for police (or 911 unified emergency); do not move the vehicles until police document the scene, as a police report is required for any insurance claim. Drivers must mark the scene and wait for the traffic police to attend.
