Sixt in Myanmar: the policy in plain terms

Requires an IDP for licences issued outside the EU and not in the Roman alphabet. Premium European brand with a fast-growing global network.

Myanmar drives on the right yet many cars are right-hand drive, a quirky combination; an IDP is recommended, though guided transport is common.

In Myanmar specifically, myanmar legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Sixt will ask for it at the counter. Self-drive is restricted for tourists; chauffeured hire is the norm.

Sixt runs a europe / global network; at its Myanmar desks, foreign renters are asked for the Local rules-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Myanmar drives on the right, uses the MMK, 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 Sixt counter in Myanmar

  • Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
  • Your International Driving Permit in the Local rules format.
  • Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
  • Local payment for the MMK deposit; Myanmar drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.

Driving rules in Myanmar Sixt renters should know
