Does InterRent require an IDP in Ghana?
InterRent in Ghana: 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.
Ghana drives on the right and signs the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is advised with your national licence for Accra's busy roads.
In Ghana specifically, ghana legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Accra desks request an IDP for non-English licences.
InterRent runs a europe network; at its Ghana desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Ghana drives on the right, uses the GHS, 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 Ghana
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
