To avoid any of these unpleasant complications, we recommend you to
order an English translation of your national driving licenses at our
company because it complies with the standard outlined in the
convention. We encourage you to use our special order form on this
website.
These are some of the benefits you get when you use an International Driving License:
1. Address information
In most countries, the driver’s home address is not included in the
national as well as the international driver’s license. One could think
that this information has nothing to do with a driver’s behavior on the
road, but the address information will definitely assist you in getting
around in a foreign country if any of the following were to happen to
you:
- a) In case of a car accident and/or penalty applied. Notwithstanding
the driving experience , any driver can get into a car accident and
no one can guarantee that it won’t occur to you. If an accident or some
road violation were to occur , a police officer must issue summons
and/or an accident report, that will require your home address. If your
driving license is missing a home address you will need to follow the
police officer to the police department in order to settle the issue
there. Our International Driving License will assist you to avoid this
problem should it occur.
- b) The address information is a must when you rent a car abroad. One
should remember about it if you are planning to rent a car abroad.
Frequently, the rental car company will ask you to provide your home
address. This requirement is necessary in case of an emergency that may
happen to you or the rented vehicle. The car renting company may refuse
to enter into a contract with you provided you show a proof of your home
address at your driving license. However, if you have our
International Driving License you won’t face any refusals because the
home address will be included.
2. Driving experience Information
Only our International Driving License contains full information
relating to the holders driving experience. One could think that , the
experience is nothing, however, this information will assist you to
save extra money on insurance cost. And we are pleased to share with you
some hints.
As a rule, when your expired national license is renewed or
exchanged. The driving experience will appear on the back side of the
license in very small prints in your national language. Unfortunately,
not all agents and/or employees at foreign car renting companies speak
foreign languages. In fact there is no guarantee that they will look for
further details relating to the drivers experience. This might led the
car renting agent to calculate insurance coverage at a higher rate as a
driver with less driving experience. And you won’t be able to prove the
opposite. However, using our International Driving License will assist
you to get a lower rate of the Insurance Policy because your driving
experience will be included.
