Does Budget require an IDP in Grenada?
Budget in Grenada: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP when your licence is not in the Roman alphabet. Value rental brand operating in 120+ countries.
Grenada drives on the left and requires visitors to buy a local temporary permit, arranged through the rental company or police.
In Grenada specifically, grenada legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Budget will ask for it at the counter. A local temporary permit is required; rental desks help arrange it.
Budget runs a global network; at its Grenada desks, foreign renters are asked for the Local rules-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Grenada drives on the left, uses the XCD, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
