Does Localiza require an IDP in Serbia?
Localiza in Serbia: 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.
Serbia drives on the right with Cyrillic signage common, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence at desks and checkpoints.
In Serbia specifically, serbia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Localiza will ask for it at the counter. Belgrade desks ask for an IDP with non-Latin-script licences.
Localiza runs a south america network; at its Serbia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Serbia drives on the right, uses the RSD, 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 Serbia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).

- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the RSD deposit; Serbia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
