Does Enterprise require an IDP in Estonia?
Enterprise in Estonia: 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.
Estonia drives on the right and keeps headlights on around the clock; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP alongside their national licence.
In Estonia specifically, estonia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Enterprise will ask for it at the counter. Tallinn desks request an IDP for non-EU licences.
Enterprise runs a global network; at its Estonia desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Estonia drives on the right, uses the EUR, 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 Estonia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Both format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the EUR deposit; Estonia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
