Does Alamo require an IDP in Denmark?
Alamo in Denmark: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP for licences in a non-Latin alphabet and recommends one for all international renters. Leisure-focused brand popular for airport pickups.
Denmark drives on the right with daytime headlights required year-round; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP with their licence.
In Denmark specifically, denmark legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Alamo will ask for it at the counter. Copenhagen desks ask for an IDP for non-EU licences.
Alamo runs a global network; at its Denmark desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Denmark drives on the right, uses the DKK, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
What to bring to the Alamo counter in Denmark
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Both format.
