Does Localiza require an IDP in Morocco?
Localiza in Morocco: 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.
An IDP is recommended and frequently required to rent a car in Morocco.
In Morocco specifically, morocco legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Localiza will ask for it at the counter. Requested at airport and city desks.
Localiza runs a south america network; at its Morocco desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Morocco drives on the right, uses the MAD, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
