Requirements for hiring a vehicle

To drive in South Korea as a foreign visitor, it is essential to comply with the following legal and administrative requirements:

• International Driving Permit (IDP): This must be a valid and current document issued under the Geneva or Vienna Convention. Foreign driving licences are not accepted without this supporting document unless a specific bilateral agreement exists.
• Passport: Original and valid identity document.
• National driving licence: Many agencies require the original licence from your home country together with the international permit.
• Credit card: Mandatory for the security deposit. It must be in the name of the main driver.
• Minimum age: Drivers are generally required to be at least 21 years old and to have a minimum of one year’s driving experience. For luxury or large vehicles, the minimum age may increase to 26.

It is recommended to book in advance, especially during periods of high tourist demand for Jeju Island, in order to secure availability and better rates. You can compare prices and options through trusted platforms such as DiscoverCars.
