Get an International Driving License with Falcon Travel
Falcon Travel offers International Driving License (IDL) in Qatar, and in this article, we go through some reasons why it is a good idea to get one if you expect to drive on your next overseas trip.
What is an International Driving License?
Just as the name implies, an International Driving License allows a person to legally drive vehicles outside of their home country. In the simplest terms, an International Driving License is a multi-language translation of your existing driver’s license, and only verifies that you hold a valid license in your home country.
Why Should You Get an International Driving License?
Depending on the purpose of your trip and whether you are anticipating driving a car during your overseas itinerary, it may be a good idea to obtain an International Driving License. Here are a few reasons you should:
You Expect to Drive in a non-English Speaking Country
While English is widely used around the world as a first or second language today, it is not true for all countries. Some places such as Japan, for example, still do not widely use English in everyday interaction even if it is taught in their school curriculums. Hence it is a good idea to obtain an international driving license before going on your trip so that in case you are stopped by traffic enforcers, they will easily be able to understand the details of your driving license.
Mandatory in Some Countries to Rent and Drive a Car
If you are planning on renting a car during your trip, it is a good idea to obtain an International Driving License as some companies may only allow car rental if you have one, and in some countries, it will be a requirement. It is also a legal requirement if you are going to drive in another country.
Avoid Paying Hefty Fines or Losing Car Insurance
Driving without an International Driving License during your overseas trip runs the risk of you paying hefty fines or losing car insurance should you get caught without the necessary document. Since you are likely to drive on unfamiliar roads and environments which may increase your chances of making a mistake and violating a traffic rule, you should not get caught driving without an International Driving License.
Valid for up to 3 Years
Depending on how often you travel abroad, you may be able to get good use out of your International Driving License, as Falcon Travel offers International Driving Licenses that are valid for either 1, 2, or up to 3 years.
What are the Requirements for an International Driving License?
