Does Enterprise require an IDP in North Macedonia?
Enterprise in North Macedonia: 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.
North Macedonia drives on the right with Cyrillic signage, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence for desks and police.
In North Macedonia specifically, north Macedonia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Enterprise will ask for it at the counter. Skopje desks ask for an IDP with non-Latin-script licences.
Enterprise runs a global network; at its North Macedonia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. North Macedonia drives on the right, uses the MKD, 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 North Macedonia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).

- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
