In North America, you must be at least 21 years old and have a valid, national passenger car driver’s license (for renters from Germany, class B is sufficient). Only the newer card driver’s licenses and the pink driver’s licenses are accepted (again, based on German driver’s licenses). The earlier, gray driver’s licenses, on the other hand, are no longer recognized in North America. In addition, an international driver’s license is generally recommended. At Apollo RV, an international driver’s license is strongly recommended.
In Australia and New Zealand, some rental companies allow rentals from the age of 18 (provided you have had your driver’s license for at least six months). Here you need an international driver’s license or a certified translation of the German driver’s license. Without an international driver’s license or a certified translation, it is not possible to pick up the vehicle.
For Europe, you only need a Class III or Class B driver’s license, which you have held for at least one year. Exceptions are the premium group of McRent, which may only be driven by persons who have been in possession of a driving license of class III or class C/C1 for at least 3 years. This is due to the fact that these vehicles have a weight of over 3.5t.
In South Africa and Namibia an international driving license should be carried.
