Does InterRent require an IDP in Colombia?
InterRent in Colombia: the policy in plain terms
Requires an IDP for non-EU and non-Roman-alphabet licences across its European locations. Europcar's value brand for leisure travellers in Europe.
Carry an IDP with your licence to drive and rent in Colombia.
In Colombia specifically, colombia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Requested by major desks; pico y placa plate restrictions apply in cities.
InterRent runs a europe network; at its Colombia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Colombia drives on the right, uses the COP, 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 InterRent counter in Colombia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the 1968 Vienna format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
