Does Localiza require an IDP in Luxembourg?
Localiza in Luxembourg: 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.
Luxembourg drives on the right at the heart of Europe; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP with their national licence.
In Luxembourg specifically, luxembourg legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Localiza will ask for it at the counter. Desks request an IDP for licences issued outside the EU/EEA.
Localiza runs a south america network; at its Luxembourg desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Luxembourg drives on the right, uses the EUR, 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 Luxembourg
