Does Avis require an IDP in Comoros?
Avis in Comoros: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP where the national licence is not in the Roman alphabet or where local law requires it. Long-established global brand operating in 165+ countries.
The Comoros drive on the right; an IDP is recommended with your home licence on these small, mountainous islands.
In Comoros specifically, comoros legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Avis will ask for it at the counter. Limited rental on Grande Comore; an IDP and passport advised.
Avis runs a global network; at its Comoros desks, foreign renters are asked for the Local rules-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Comoros drives on the right, uses the KMF, 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 Avis counter in Comoros
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Local rules format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
