Argentina
Argentina offers epic road trips along Ruta 40 and through Patagonia, but vast distances, chaotic Buenos Aires traffic, and remote gravel roads demand careful planning. An IDP is required for foreign drivers.
Australia
Australia drives on the left with vast outback distances, unique wildlife hazards, and state-by-state rule variations. An IDP is required for most foreign visitors.
Austria
Austria features stunning Alpine roads, well-maintained motorways, and a mandatory digital vignette system. EU licenses accepted; others need an IDP. Winter equipment rules are strictly enforced.
Belgium
Belgium drives on the right with excellent motorways, multilingual signage, and straightforward rules. EU and US license holders generally do not need an IDP.
Brazil
Brazil is a vast country with improving highways but challenging urban driving, aggressive traffic in major cities, and significant distances between destinations. An IDP is officially required.
Cambodia
Cambodia offers adventurous driving through Phnom Penh chaos, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat, and limited road infrastructure dominated by motorbikes. Dust roads, monsoon flooding, and unpredictable traffic make it challenging.
