Does Enterprise require an IDP in Ivory Coast?

Enterprise's minimum rental age is 21 in most of the U.S. (18 in Michigan and New York, and 18 for U.S. government employees on official orders); renters aged 21-24 pay a "Young Renter Fee" that typically averages around $25/day but varies by location (e.g., 21-24 is $15.75/day in Michigan and $30.75/day in New York, with 18-20 fees of $36.50 and $64.75/day respectively).

The contract holder must present their own credit card in their name with sufficient available credit; deposits typically run between $200 and $850 depending on location and vehicle class (airport holds are typically about 120% of the rental). Debit cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover logo may be accepted at some locations, but at airports only with a ticketed return-travel itinerary, and prepaid cards are not accepted.

Each additional authorized driver is typically charged about $15.00 per day, but a renter's spouse or domestic partner who meets the same age and licence requirements is added at no charge. Enterprise requires each renter and additional driver to hold a valid, unexpired driver's licence; it does not publish a fixed minimum holding period in the U.S., though young-renter (under-25) restrictions and surcharges apply instead.

Taking a U.S.-rented vehicle across the Mexican or Canadian border requires advance approval; renters must contact the renting branch or call center for the correct procedure and any required insurance, and cross-border travel is restricted or prohibited at many locations. One-way rentals are offered but availability and drop-off fees vary by branch.

For renters under 25, Enterprise states it does not accept an International Driver's Permit as identification; a valid photo driver's licence is required. Foreign renters generally need their home-country licence (an IDP is recommended as a translation supplement but is not a stand-alone substitute for the licence).

Abidjan's Henri Konan Bédié (HKB / Third) Bridge is a tolled expressway with a 21-lane plaza accepting cash and electronic tags, and tolls also apply on the Abidjan-Grand-Bassam and Yamoussoukro motorway sections; pay in CFA francs at the booths.

In Abidjan informal attendants control most street parking for a small CFA-franc fee, and parking on sidewalks or in front of hydrants risks fines or towing; formal metered zones and apps are largely absent.

Roadside police checks are frequent; speeding, no-seatbelt and handheld-phone use draw on-the-spot CFA-franc fines often settled in cash, and rental firms pass on any speed-camera or toll penalties to the card on file.

Call the police on 170 (or 111) and the fire/rescue service on 180; do not move vehicles after an injury crash and obtain a police report (constat), which rental companies require for any insurance claim.
