  • An IDP alone is not accepted: it must accompany the original licence.
  • Dollar does not state an IDP requirement for non-Latin licences; IDP is only 'recommended to aid translation'.

“Customers traveling to the United States or Canada who have a driver’s license that was issued outside of the United States or Canada are required to present a valid driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name displayed on the foreign driver’s license, as a second form of identification. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended to aid translation. You will not be allowed to rent a vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.” — home_licence_required, idp_policy, idp_alone_accepted, passport_policy ↗ (company national page)
