Does InterRent require an IDP in Indonesia?
InterRent in Indonesia: 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.
An IDP is required to drive or ride legally in Indonesia, including Bali.
In Indonesia specifically, indonesia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Police checks in Bali frequently ask for an IDP and home licence.
InterRent runs a europe network; at its Indonesia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1949 Geneva-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Indonesia drives on the left, uses the IDR, 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 Indonesia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the 1949 Geneva format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the IDR deposit; Indonesia drives on the left with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
