Budget in Sudan: the policy in plain terms

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

Sudan drives on the right; an IDP is expected with your home licence, and Saharan routes require careful planning.

In Sudan specifically, sudan legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Budget will ask for it at the counter. Self-drive is limited; an IDP and passport are required where rental exists.

Budget runs a global network; at its Sudan desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1949 Geneva-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Sudan drives on the right, uses the SDG, 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 Sudan

  • Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
  • Your International Driving Permit in the 1949 Geneva format.
  • Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
  • Local payment for the SDG deposit; Sudan drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.

  • Drive on the right.
  • Sandy desert roads and checkpoints.
  • Alcohol is prohibited.
