我在国外租车需要International Driving Permit吗?
更新于3 Sept 2026
直接答案
是的,通常情况下是这样——即使某个国家的法律没有明确规定,租车公司也经常要求提供International Driving Permit或经认证的翻译件以及您的本国驾照,尤其是在您的驾照不是当地语言的情况下。最稳妥的做法是携带一份工作人员能够看懂的文件前往柜台。

将指南作为参考,然后在购买任何东西之前确认您确切的驾照、目的地、日期和车辆。
即使法律没有规定,租赁公司为什么还要问?
租车公司需要读取您的驾照以确认您的姓名、您符合所选车型要求以及驾照有效。大型连锁租车公司(如 Hertz、Avis、Enterprise、Sixt 和 Europcar)通常要求提供IDP或外国驾照的翻译件,这是公司政策,与目的地法律无关,因为他们的员工无法验证他们无法读取的驾照。取车时驾照被拒收可能会导致您的预订和押金被没收。
去柜台需要带什么
务必携带您的原件驾照——没有原件,国际IDP或翻译件均无效。如果租车国家或租车公司明确要求提供国际IDP ,则需提供国际驾照;如果租车公司接受翻译件,则需提供经认证的翻译件。对于大多数租车情况,携带清晰的经认证的翻译件即可满足前台的要求,因为它可以提供工作人员所需的所有信息。
非拉丁字母许可证:请勿跳过此项
如果您的驾照是用阿拉伯语、中文、日语、韩语、西里尔字母、泰语、希腊语或印地语打印的,请假设租车柜台会要求您提供翻译件——许多连锁租车公司即使在不强制要求IDP国家,也要求非拉丁字母驾照提供单独的认证翻译件。网上预订并不能免除这项要求;取车时会进行现场检查,所以请做好准备。
