Driving Abroad

Whether you’re traveling from your homeland for school, business or simply sightseeing the world, you may want to slide behind the wheel and maneuver through the streets and highways in order to get where you need to go. Learning a little bit about the driving rules and driver habits where you are visiting is the first step.

So, whether you are a U.S. citizen going abroad or you are a visitor to the United States, DMV.ORG provides you with some of the most important things you’ll need to know before you take to the roadways.

For example, we offer information on what you need to rent a car in another land, give you guidelines on driving in Mexico and Canada, and provide the basics about driving laws in the United States.

Spend some time reading our articles before your trip so you can be a safe driver wherever you may travel.

U.S. Passport Card and Enhanced Driver License (EDL)	Today’s travelers need to satisfy more stringent security regulations than once was needed. To that end some states are implementing the use of documents that work almost like a U.S. Passport; you'll find all the details here.
Renting a Car	Although you may be an old pro renting a car just down the street, there may be slight differences if you are planning to hire a vehicle while visiting another country.
Driving in Mexico	If it's been awhile since you took a trip south of the border, you will want to review the requirements to drive in Mexico today.
Driving in Canada	Heading north? If so, you’ll need to study up on the rules and regulations of driving in the land of the maple leaf.
Driving in the United States	Worried about the nightmare accounts of driving in America? It’s not that bad; after all nearly 2 million people do it all the time. But if you’re concerned about being safe, learn about some of the idiosyncrasies before you put the pedal to the metal.
Mapping and GPS	Mapping systems have been around for awhile and more and more vehicles come equipped to help you find your way around. Read all about these systems before you need to use them.
Travel Safety Tips	Before you even pack your bags, it would be wise to read about how best to keep yourself and your traveling companions safe while enjoying the adventures in a far-off land. See how, here.
Travel Warnings	Many of us travel for business these days and may not have a choice as to where we go. But if the trip is purely for pleasure, why not keep it that way. Check here to find out where not to travel if you don’t have to.
International Driver Permits (IDP)	In the States, these documents are not the same as a state-issued driver’s license but they can be useful to have along as you drive in other countries. Find out why, right here.
Commuters and Trusted Traveler Programs	Most people are in favor of pretty stringent control of the borders but the time it takes to verify documents can put a damper on a tight schedule. Certain programs can expedite entry for those who frequently go from country to country. Learn about how you can save some time, here.
Programs for Commercial Drivers	Time is money and down time in a big rig also means burning up the petrol just waiting to cross the border. Knowing that time is of the essence to deliver that load, certain special programs for commercial drivers are outlined here.
