What's Included?
Driving in Vietnam
Your International Driving Permit acts as an official translation of your home driver's license, recognized by local authorities, police, and car rental agencies in Vietnam — so you can hit the road with confidence, without language barriers or paperwork surprises.
Always carry your IDP alongside your original, valid driver's license — it is a translation companion document, not a standalone substitute. Check specific rental agency policies before you set off.
