Travelers from the United States and Canada can pick up a vehicle in Northern Ireland and drive off the rental agency lot with a domestic driver's license that is in good standing and has been valid for at least one year. Additionally, a passport must also be produced if the driver is not a citizen of the UK. That being said, it is highly recommended that travelers planning to drive in Northern Ireland acquire an international drivers permit (IDP), which can be purchased from your local AAA branch for only $15.
While an IDP is not necessary to rent a vehicle in Northern Ireland (as long as your domestic driver's license is in English), an IDP serves as an internationally recognized form of identification.
