Using a Philippines Driving License in the UK

[darren-b]

I don't actually believe you need an IDP to drive in the UK unless your driving license isn't in English. Though some places (hire car companies, etc) may want you to have one.

The other thing to remember is if insuring a car or being added to an insurance policy is to make sure the insurance company knows which country issued the driving license if it is not a UK one.

You dont need IDP to operate a car in UK. LTO license is enough. However, it is only valid 12 months upon Arrival in UK. here is the advisory link posted by the phil embassy in london regarding that matter http://philembassy-uk.org/news_advisory.html#04
