Requirements for hiring a vehicle

To drive a hire car in Hong Kong, you must comply with the following general requirements imposed by most agencies:

• Minimum age: At least 21 years old (some companies require drivers to be 25 for higher vehicle categories or apply “young driver” surcharges).
• Driving licence: A valid licence held for a minimum of 2 years.
• International Driving Permit (IDP): Mandatory if your original licence is not written in English or Chinese. Even with licences in English, many agencies request it as additional legal support.
• Passport: Original and valid identification document.
• Credit card: A card in the name of the main driver for the security deposit hold or bond.

Please note that driving in Hong Kong is on the left-hand side of the road, and parking in central areas may be expensive and limited, so planning routes in advance is recommended.
