At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's license, which has been held for at least 1 year.
For all Non-European Union renters an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended.
Digital driver's licenses are not accepted.
Renters from the United Kingdom:
- The UK card licence is accepted in Belgium.
- The UK paper license is not accepted on its own and will need to be presented along with an International Driver's Permit (IDP).
An IDP translates the national license into various languages and is not accepted without the national driving license.
Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China / Japan may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form.
Hertz China / Japan will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China / 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 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.
