Does InterRent require an IDP in Myanmar?
InterRent in Myanmar: 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.
Myanmar drives on the right yet many cars are right-hand drive, a quirky combination; an IDP is recommended, though guided transport is common.
In Myanmar specifically, myanmar legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Self-drive is restricted for tourists; chauffeured hire is the norm.
InterRent runs a europe network; at its Myanmar desks, foreign renters are asked for the Local rules-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Myanmar drives on the right, uses the MMK, 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 Myanmar
- 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 MMK deposit; Myanmar drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
