Our standard
Editorial policy
Travellers act on what these pages say at rental counters and roadside checks. Every destination guide follows one published standard for sourcing, freshness and corrections.
Three-source verificationCountry requirements are checked against the convention texts (Article 24 of the 1949 Geneva Convention, Article 41 of the 1968 Vienna Convention), the destination's own road-traffic authority guidance, and the published licence policies of the major rental networks. Where those disagree, the page says so rather than picking one.
Citations on the page, not in a fileThe authorities behind a claim are rendered on the destination page that makes it. Anyone can check a statement against its source without contacting us.
Dates from revision historyReview dates are derived from the revision history of the underlying data, not typed in by hand. A page cannot advertise freshness it does not have, and nothing is stamped with today's date just because it was rebuilt today.
No overclaimsWe do not describe the permit as UN approved or government issued, do not promise that any particular desk will accept it, and state on every destination page that it is carried together with your national licence.
Corrections within one business dayFactual issues reported to support are triaged within one business day. A material correction updates the page and its review date at the same time.
Attribution
These guides are published by Vialy rather than under individual bylines. What carries the weight is the sourcing: the authorities each page draws on are named on that page, and its date comes from the record of when the data actually changed. Read how the destination data is compiled on the about page.
