Travel Tips
Driving in the U.S.
The Hungarian Driver's License is a valid driver's license for a period of up to one year of stay in America. International Driving Permits are helpful, but not necessary to drive in the United States. Visitors who intend to rent an automobile in the United States are advised to obtain an International Driving Permit prior to their departure from Hungary. These permits can be useful in connection with renting a car or in emergencies such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved.
