Does Alamo require an IDP in Serbia?
Alamo in Serbia: 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.
Serbia drives on the right with Cyrillic signage common, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence at desks and checkpoints.
In Serbia specifically, serbia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Alamo will ask for it at the counter. Belgrade desks ask for an IDP with non-Latin-script licences.
Alamo runs a global network; at its Serbia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Serbia drives on the right, uses the RSD, 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 Serbia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
