Does Enterprise require an IDP in Armenia?
Enterprise in Armenia: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP alongside your home licence where local law mandates it (much of Europe, Asia and South America). The world's largest car-rental brand by fleet size.
Armenia drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention and uses its own script, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence.
In Armenia specifically, armenia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Enterprise will ask for it at the counter. Yerevan desks ask for an IDP with non-Latin-script licences.
Enterprise runs a global network; at its Armenia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Armenia drives on the right, uses the AMD, 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 Enterprise counter in Armenia
- 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 AMD deposit; Armenia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
