One of the most frequently asked questions when leaving the country is about the options in other places to be able to drive. Each country has its own rules for driving licenses for foreigners that you request if you want to rent a private car.

In the case of Colombia, there is a driving license that can be presented in other countries and, in this way, validate the license that was issued in the country. Its about International Driving Document (PIC) which is certified by the Automóvil Club de Colombia under the rules of the World Convention on Highway Circulation agreed in Geneva on September 19, 1949.
There it is “authorized to drive a vehicle in any country in the world that does not have a bilateral agreement with Colombia.” The document must be presented in the country of destination together with the national driver’s license with a valid date.
