Does Alamo require an IDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

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.

There is no vignette - tolls are paid at manual booths on tolled A1 motorway sections (e.g. Sarajevo-Zenica, Sarajevo-Tarcin, Banja Luka-Doboj); pay in cash in Convertible Marks (BAM) or euros, with most booths also accepting cards.

Towns like Sarajevo, Mostar and Banja Luka use signed paid zones and car parks payable by ticket machine, SMS or attendant; spaces in old-town centres are scarce, so guarded lots or hotel parking are the safest option.

Police issue on-the-spot fines for speeding, no seatbelt, daytime-headlight and phone offences, often payable in cash; the blood-alcohol limit is a strict 0.03% (zero for new and professional drivers), and headlights must be on 24/7 year-round.

Dial 122 for police (124 ambulance, 112 general). Do not move vehicles, switch on hazard lights and set out the warning triangle; a police report is required for insurance, and any visible damage should be reported because driving a visibly damaged car out of the country can be questioned.
