IKO86 recommends you supplement your local driver's license with an International Drivers Permit. An IDP is written in 10 languages and serves as an officially recognized translation of your local driver's license in over 150 participating members of the United Nations.
Your IDP should always be accompanied by your valid local driving license.
The UN do not issue driving permits, but use authorized travel associations to administer the service. A passport-size booklet is administered verifying that the motorist has a valid driver's license from his/her permanent place of residence. In reference to travelers from the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc; a driver's license from these locations is acceptable by IKO86 Rent Car, however, the Bulgarian Police do not accept these licenses independently, and so it is required that your driver's license be accompanied by a valid International Drivers permit.
You are required for your driver's license to be accompanied by a valid International Drivers permit. You may apply for a IDL at one of the many AAA outlets ( The American Automobile Association ). The fee is $10.00 USD and it takes only 10 minutes for the procedure to be completed.
