What is PID?
The PID is an essential document that allows you to drive legally in other countries. Recognized in more than 130 countries, it translates your license into several languages, facilitating communication with local traffic authorities. This document is especially useful to avoid problems with foreign authorities and insurers, protecting you and avoiding unnecessary stress.
Benefits of PID
In addition to providing legality when driving abroad, PID also simplifies vehicle rental, making the process faster and hassle-free. Imagine exploring new places and cultures with the freedom of a car. Driving abroad enriches your trip by offering flexibility and access to destinations that are often inaccessible by public transport.
PID translates National Driving License (CNH) information into nine languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, French and German. This makes it easier to identify the driver and can be essential in cases of accidents or infractions.
Contrary to what some believe, the PID is required from the first day of driving in a foreign country that is a signatory to the convention, not just after 180 days of stay. Furthermore, PID helps with vehicle rental, making the process faster and hassle-free. Imagine exploring new places and cultures with the freedom of a car, enriching your trip and offering flexibility and access to destinations inaccessible by public transport.
