How can I get an international driving permit?
I’m heading to Europe in two months and I would like to rent a car for convenience. I want to be prepared before I go over. How can I get an international driving permit?
Andrea Barrett · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Although the public transport system in Europe is good, renting a car is more convenient! As long as you have a valid driver’s license, you can get an international driving permit (IDP) in person or by mail through the American Automobile Association (AAA).
Here’s how to apply.
In-person—you will need to bring:
- A completed copy of the IDP application
- Two original passport photos (can be obtained at your local AAA branch)
- A valid United States driver’s license
- $20 permit fee
By mail—collect the following items and mail them to your local AAA branch:
- Completed IDP application
- Two original passport photos with signature on the back
- $20 permit fee
- Photocopy of both sides of your valid U.S. driver’s license
