Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip to Singapore soon and was wondering if anyone here has experience with driving there as a tourist. I hold a valid Indian driving license (issued in Hyderabad), and I’ve read mixed information online about whether it can be used directly or if I need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
A few specific questions I have:
Can I rent a car in Singapore with just my Indian license, or is an IDP mandatory?
If it’s allowed, is there a validity period (like 1 month or 1 year) during which foreign licenses are accepted?
Are there any specific conditions (for example, having the license in English or carrying additional documents)?
For those who have actually driven in Singapore on an Indian license, how was your experience with car rentals and traffic rules?
I’d love to hear from fellow travelers who have done this recently. Any tips or things I should be careful about while driving in Singapore would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
