Renting a car abroad can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! Here’s what you need to know:
- International Driving Permit (IDP): Some countries require you to have an IDP in addition to your regular license.
- Insurance: Check if your insurance covers international rentals or if you need to purchase additional coverage.
- Navigation: GPS or a local sim card with data can help you navigate foreign roads more easily.
- Local Laws: Familiarize yourself with local driving laws, such as road signs, speed limits, and rules about drinking and driving.
- Currency and Payment: Be sure to know how payments are processed, whether credit cards are accepted, and if any foreign transaction fees apply.
