你要看具体的租车公司的网站上是怎么规定的,每个公司规定不一样。直接应该不能上路,至少需要一个翻译件吧,老外看不懂中文,他怎么知道你这个证件上面写了什么呢?最好是有国际驾照,但是中国境内貌似没有什么官方机构可以帮你办这个国际驾照。不过国际驾照本身不是一个驾照,只是对你本国驾照的一个多种语言翻译件,所以要和本身的驾照一起使用才行。
下面是英国一个租车公司Avis网上写的:
What type of driving licence is required in the UK and Overseas?
To rent an Avis car, you will need a full driving licence that covers the
vehicle rented by you. It will need to be held for at least one year. Remember
to have your original driving licence with you in both parts if it's a new
style UK licence.If your licence is in non-roman alphabet (e.g. Japanese), you
will need in addition an International driving licence.If you rent abroad: You
will need the original licence and an international licence in Australia but
not in the USA, Canada, South Africa and most European countries.
Please note that some countries in Asia and Africa (e.g. China, India), Avis
Chauffeur Drive is required as you may not be allowed to drive the vehicle
yourself.
(这个租车公司明确指出中国驾照可能不能在他那里租车,要给你安排司机才行)
以前我父母在报纸上看到过关于国际驾照的文章,当时还特地扫描给我看了,我给你copy过来看一下。
