Rental Qualifications and RequirementsAt the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's licence.
Important Notice for Customers with UK Driving Licences issued in Great Britain
When renting in South Africa, all drivers with a UK licence (except Northern Ireland) will need to provide evidence of any driving endorsements. This also applies if you have a paper licence that was issued before 1998.
You will need to provide a ‘Check Code’ which enables you to share your driving record with someone, for example a car hire company. Check Codes are valid for 21 days.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required, if the customer does not have a valid national driver's licence in English with a photograph and no endorsements.
The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.
Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. BOTH the Certification and the original licence MUST be produced at the time of rental.
If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.
