Does Europcar require an IDP in Denmark?
Europcar in Denmark: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP for non-EU and non-Latin-alphabet licences across its European network. Europe's leading mobility brand.
Denmark drives on the right with daytime headlights required year-round; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP with their licence.
In Denmark specifically, denmark legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Europcar will ask for it at the counter. Copenhagen desks ask for an IDP for non-EU licences.
Europcar runs a europe / global network; at its Denmark desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Denmark drives on the right, uses the DKK, 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 Europcar counter in Denmark
- 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 DKK deposit; Denmark drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
