In countries including Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland, Japan, Thailand, Austria and more — yes, it is legally required. Even where law doesn't require it, many major rental companies require one as company policy. Without it, you may be denied the car and lose your prepaid booking.
Most modern countries and major rental companies accept digital IDPs. However, Japan and some Eastern European police checkpoints specifically require a physical printed booklet. If in doubt, choose the Printed IDP ($59) or the Bundle ($69).
No. The IDP must be obtained in your home country before you travel. If you've already left, a digital IDP from a reputable provider may be accepted where digital is recognized.
If an IDP is legally required in that country, your insurance company will likely reject your entire claim — because you were driving illegally. You become personally liable for all damages, repairs, and medical costs.
