Mozambique drives on the left and signs the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is advised if your licence is not in Portuguese.

In Mozambique specifically, mozambique legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Sixt will ask for it at the counter. Maputo desks request an IDP for non-Portuguese licences; carry reflective vests.

Mozambique drives on the left, uses the MZN, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
