Rental Qualifications and Requirements

At the time of rental the driver must present a full valid national driver's licence, which has been held for at least 2 years.

Customers from Northern Ireland holding a photocard driver's Licence must remember that the photocard and paper counterpart make up the complete driver's licence and both must be produced when renting a vehicle.

For licences not in English & Non - European Union licences, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended.

The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China 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 MUST be produced at the time of rental.

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.
