What are your driver license requirements for renting in Australia?

 

We accept current Australian, overseas and international licences. Overseas licences that are not easily identifiable must be accompanied by an International Licence or English translation. Valid drivers licence, including provisional licenses, must have been held for a minimum of 12 months, include a photograph of the customer and be valid for the entire rental period.

  • If the home country driver's license is in a language other than English and the letters are English (i.e. German, Spanish, etc.) an International Driver's Permit is recommended, but not required, for translation purposes in addition to the home country driver's license.

  • If the home country driver's license is in a language other than English and the letters are not English (i.e. alphabet is not an extended Latin-based alphabet like German or Spanish but is Cyrilic, Kanji, Arabic, etc.) an International Driver's Permit is required. If an International Driver's Permit cannot be obtained in the home country, another professional, type-written translation from an official government body may be substituted. In either case, the home country driver's license must also be presented.

Please note: 

  • Customers may not rent a vehicle solely with the International Driver's Permit. The International Driver's Permit is a translation of the individual's home country driver's license and is not considered a license nor is it considered valid identification.
  • Proof of address is also required. If the renter has provided an International Driver's Permit for translation purposes which does not feature an address, an official type-written translation of the home country driver's license with an address will also be required. If the home country driver's license does not include an address, an official document (in English, or accompanied by an English translation) such as a utility bill or lease agreement can be substituted.

 

WHAT ABOUT DIGITAL LICENCES?


The Digital Drivers Licence is legal for use in multiple jurisdictions and accepted by many businesses. However, it is still required that users hold a physical card as a backup. Enterprise & its affiliated brands in Australia, still require a hard copy license until further notice. Additionally we do not accept international digital licences at this time.
