International driving permits


International Driving Permits (IDP's) are recommended when you intend driving overseas.

In Australia, the Government appointed the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) as the only authority to issue permits. As a member of the AAA, the RACV issues IDP's through RACV shops.

An IDP is a widely recognised documentand is useful for photo identification purposes. You may also need one to rent a car overseas.
