International Driving Permit (IDP).
Driving a vehicle in the country that we travel is an option which we can go to our destination quicker and sometimes cheaper, especially if we travel in group. But, not all in the world accept Malaysia driving licence especially old version which do not have details in English. For newer version that have details in English, there will additional countries will accept it especially ASEAN (South East Asia) countries and majority Commonwealth countries.
But, for countries that not include both organisation, it possible that they do not accept Malaysia driving licence especially the countries do not use English as their main or working or official language. Even though in ASEAN, there were some incidents, the polices gave fine and also detained the people who do not have valid driving licence in that countries, although there are an agreement among ASEAN (Agreement on the Recognition of Domestic Driving Licences Issued by ASEAN Countries) which been signed in year of 1985.

Car rental company in the visiting country usually will ask for valid driving licence for that country. One method to get valid driving licence is to follow the procedure from the beginning, which is to learn how to drive, then take and pass the examination of driving. Or we can exchange our existing driving licence to local driving licence, if it avaiable. Both of these methods quite expensive and it only can be done if we will be resided at that country for more than 3 months.
Best way for pay more and for journey less than 3 months in that country is to apply International Driving Permit at Road Transport Department (JPJ - Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan). It very easy and cheap, just RM150.00 only for one year. If at Kuala Lumpur, among JPJ office will process the IDP application is Federal Territory Road Transport Department office at Wangsa Maju, beside other other small branches.
