About Driving yourself
GOV.UK says that UK drivers need both the 1968 version of the international driving permit and their UK licence to drive a car or motorbike in Vietnam, and that driving without third-party insurance is illegal; any alcohol in your system is an offence. Never leave your passport as a deposit.
Why it's on our list
- IDP 1968
- Zero alcohol
