Does Sixt require an IDP in Slovenia?
Sixt in Slovenia: 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.
Slovenia drives on the right and requires an e-vignette for motorways; non-EU visitors should carry an IDP with their licence.
In Slovenia specifically, slovenia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Sixt will ask for it at the counter. Ljubljana desks request an IDP for non-EU licences; e-vignette included with rentals.
Sixt runs a europe / global network; at its Slovenia desks, foreign renters are asked for the Both-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Slovenia 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 Sixt counter in Slovenia
- Your original national driving licence (the IDP never replaces it).
- Your International Driving Permit in the Both format.
- Your passport and a payment card in the main driver's name.
- Local payment for the EUR deposit; Slovenia drives on the right with a young-driver surcharge under 25.
