Can I rent a car without a driver's license?

You cannot rent a car without a driver's license. If a driver does not carry a motor vehicle driver's license that matches the type of vehicle being driven, it is considered driving without a license, and they cannot rent a car from a rental company. Even if they manage to rent a car, if stopped by traffic police while driving and unable to present an electronic driver's license (some places require a physical license), the vehicle will be temporarily impounded, and the driver will be warned or penalized after providing the license. Here are some precautions for renting a car: 1. Choose a reputable rental company: Always opt for a legitimate car rental company, preferably a large one with a good reputation and a wide selection of vehicles. Avoid choosing private vehicles or unlicensed cars just to save money. Additionally, comparing multiple companies is beneficial. Generally, established rental companies have their own websites where you can review detailed introductions. 2. Inspect the vehicle: Focus on checking the vehicle's mileage, lights, electronic configurations, oil level, coolant, and brake fluid. If necessary, take a short test drive to assess the car's braking, acceleration, and handling performance. Ensure the vehicle is in good condition, and report any issues to the rental company immediately. 3. Adhere to the contract: Return the rented vehicle at the specified time and location as per the contract; otherwise, you may face serious consequences. Additionally, any intentional damage to the vehicle during use must be compensated according to the contract terms.
