Driving in Singapore With an International Driving License

In Singapore, traffic keeps to the left, so it's worth skimming our left-hand traffic guide before you pick up the keys, especially at roundabouts and intersections without clear signage.

Rental staff and local authorities in Singapore typically want to see your passport, your home driver's license, and your international driving license together. Keeping all three ready at pickup saves time — here's a full packing checklist.

  • Passport and home license required at pickup
  • International driving license recommended alongside your license
  • Confirm transmission type and fuel before you drive off
