Does Enterprise require an IDP in Tonga?
Enterprise in Tonga: 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.
Tonga drives on the left and requires a local driving licence for visitors, usually issued quickly on presenting an IDP and home licence.
In Tonga specifically, tonga legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Enterprise will ask for it at the counter. A local visitor's licence is required; bring an IDP and home licence.
Enterprise runs a global network; at its Tonga desks, foreign renters are asked for the Local rules-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Tonga drives on the left, uses the TOP, 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 Tonga
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Local rules format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the TOP deposit; Tonga drives on the left with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
