QWhat will I need in terms of travel documents?
AProof of your citizenship will be required for your travels. A current passport, valid for 6 months beyond your travel dates, is generally required for most destinations. Please check with your travel agent for the most current identification, visa, and other travel document requirements. Minor children travelling without both parents may require a notarized form in order to travel. You should also be aware that entry to another country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.

QWill my driver's license be sufficient in order to rent a car?
AWe strongly advise that you purchase an International Driving Permit (IDP) from an authorized provider such as AAA or CAA when traveling internationally. It is not a stand alone document as it is only accepted with your original driver's license. While you may not be asked for an IDP when renting a car, in many countries you are required to have one and risk being fined should you encounter a traffic infringement. For a very small fee, the IDP is worth the peace of mind.
