Greece
What's Included?
Driving in Greece
Your International Driving Permit acts as an official translation of your home driver's license, recognized by local authorities, police, and car rental agencies in Greece — so you can hit the road with confidence, without language barriers or paperwork surprises.
Always carry your IDP alongside your original, valid driver's license — it is a translation companion document, not a standalone substitute. Check specific rental agency policies before you set off.
Local Road Regulations & Advice for Greece
Under Greek law, an IDP is required for non-EU license holders. While US/UK/Canadian license holders are sometimes exempt under recent local bilateral rules, carrying one is highly recommended to avoid rental counters refusing service.
