The NRMA and the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) advises that all Australian’s are “REQUIRED” to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive a car in Malaysia. It just so happens that the NRMA and the AAA are the only entities able to issue you an IDP for $50 in Australia. I’ve been in Malaysia for the last six months and hired numerous cars from big and small car rental companies and none required me to produce an IDP. All I needed was my Australian licence. I wonder how many other countries the NRMA and AAA say IDP’s are compulsory when in fact they are not?
