At the time of rental, the driver must present a valid national driver's license which has been held for at least 1 year.
Rentals for 6 months or longer require a special permit which is issued in Slovakia.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required for non-European Union renters.
The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.
Driver's licences issued in Japan may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form.
Hertz Japan will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz Japan Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence.
Both the Certification and the original licence (with an International Driving Permit strongly recommended by Police authorities in Europe) MUST be produced at the time of rental.
If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in the People's Republic of China, you must present the original licence together with a translation into English issued by a local authority in China as well an International Driving Permit.
These three documents are compulsory for all customers from China for driving in Slovakia and must be provided to the police if required.
If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.
