5 Things to Consider Before Renting a Car in a Foreign Country

There are many ways to enjoy a trip overseas, but for many the only option is the freedom of a rented car. Renting a car in your destination will allow you the freedom of going wherever you want whenever you like, but it always comes at a price. Alternative modes of transport may be better for some travelers. Remember to take these considerations into account before you decide to rent a car in a foreign country . 1. Obtaining an International License Before you decide to drive in a foreign country, you'd be wise to look into obtaining an international license. Your home-issued driver's license may be enough to secure a rented car, but foreign laws may not be entirely clear about whether or not you'll need an international license to drive legally for the duration of your trip. This is especially important if you're going to be driving in multiple countries. Being reprimanded for unlicensed driving in a foreign country can ruin a trip quicker than almost anything.
