Budget in Belarus: the policy in plain terms

Requires an IDP when your licence is not in the Roman alphabet. Value rental brand operating in 120+ countries.

Belarus drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is expected because domestic licences and road signs use Cyrillic.

In Belarus specifically, belarus legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Budget will ask for it at the counter. Rental desks require an IDP for any non-Cyrillic licence.

Budget runs a global network; at its Belarus desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Belarus drives on the right, uses the BYN, 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 Budget counter in Belarus

  • 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.
  • Local payment for the BYN deposit; Belarus drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
