Requirements for driving a rental car in South Korea

Foreign drivers must possess an International Driving Permit (IDP under 1949 Geneva Convention) along with their valid home passport and physical driver's license.

Highways in Korea use the automated Hi-Pass toll system. Rental cars come equipped with Hi-Pass OBU devices — tolls are automatically tallied and settled upon car return.
