Does InterRent require an IDP in Tajikistan?
InterRent in Tajikistan: 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.
Tajikistan drives on the right and uses Cyrillic; an IDP is advised with your licence, and the Pamir Highway demands a robust 4x4.
In Tajikistan specifically, tajikistan legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so InterRent will ask for it at the counter. Dushanbe desks ask for an IDP with non-Cyrillic licences; 4x4 for the Pamirs.
InterRent runs a europe network; at its Tajikistan desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Tajikistan drives on the right, uses the TJS, 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 Tajikistan
- 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.
- Local payment for the TJS deposit; Tajikistan drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
