Does Localiza require an IDP in Denmark?
Localiza in Denmark: the policy in plain terms
Requires the original IDP with your home licence at the counter for foreign renters across Brazil and Latin America. The largest car-rental company in Latin America.
Denmark drives on the right with daytime headlights required year-round; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP with their licence.
In Denmark specifically, denmark legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Localiza will ask for it at the counter. Copenhagen desks ask for an IDP for non-EU licences.
Localiza runs a south america network; at its Denmark desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Denmark drives on the right, uses the DKK, 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 Localiza counter in Denmark
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Both format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the DKK deposit; Denmark drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
