Budget in Tajikistan: the policy in plain terms

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

Tajikistan drives on the right and uses Cyrillic; an IDP is advised with your licence, and the Pamir Highway demands a robust 4x4.

In Tajikistan specifically, tajikistan legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Budget will ask for it at the counter. Dushanbe desks ask for an IDP with non-Cyrillic licences; 4x4 for the Pamirs.

Budget runs a global network; at its Tajikistan desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Tajikistan drives on the right, uses the TJS, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.

  • Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
  • Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
