My husband and I have Soviet rights in general :-) There were no problems in any country where we took the car.

Good afternoon, regarding the rights, they will give you a car)).. but in the case, God forbid, DDP, you will be considered as a participant who does not have rights !!!! It's 100%.

Diana, where does this information come from? :-)
When renting, you are fully insured. And all DCF is the problem of the lessor company. You pay only the franchise (the maximum we paid was 150 euros). And the Greek representatives of the company deal with the police and the injured party. The only thing to do is to immediately call the landlords at the phone number indicated in the contract. all.

DIANA_MUZ is right. Moreover, it is very easy to get an IDL in Russia.
Viltis, insure oh how differently. And with and without a franchise, and the damage in different cases is different - on glass, on the cabin, on tires, on mirrors.
Actually, if you choose insurance, and not blindly take what they give, it turns out that the cost of renting a car can increase by 15-60% due to better insurance.
There are also different risks - from theft, from damage by third parties, natural disaster, etc.
And also different factors can affect whether this insurance is valid in a particular situation. For example, any insurance contract specifies the territory in which the insurance is valid. For example, Germany. If you signed that the insurance is for Germany, but went to France and an accident happened there, you do not have insurance.
In the contracts of rental companies, as a rule, the driver (or several drivers) who have the right to drive this car during the specified period is indicated. If Ivanov A.A. is indicated in the contract, and Petrov A.A. was driving during an accident, there is no insurance.
If the driver is drunk, there is no insurance.
If the driver does not have a water license valid in the EU or the USA, etc., he is without insurance and without the right to drive a vehicle.

The main message of the IDP message to distributors, as a rule, is up to the mark. In some countries, problems may occur, occasionally.
But for insurance companies, especially in cases of serious (God forbid, of course) accidents with significant material losses, this trifle can be decisive.
Especially, taking into account the fact that in the EU there is no maximum amount of liability to third parties, as the court will say (responsibility for a rented car + if you are the culprit of an accident, then all material losses of other participants in the accident).
And there are cases when material compensations amount to 200,300,700 ... thousand euros.
Of course, this is very unlikely, but someone gets into an accident ...

Natika, you state what you don't know :-) Why are you sure that we have never been in an accident in 18 years of traveling by car abroad? I'll tell you more in 2008 in Greece, I personally got into an accident. I didn’t see the markings (and whoever was in Greece knows that everything is “very good” with the markings there) and hit the car with passengers. I personally. So what? I called the number in the contract, two Greeks arrived on a moped, the situation was resolved in 5 minutes. We then paid a deductible of 150 euros by credit card (this is the maximum that we once paid, in 1995 in Germany we paid 80 marks). They sat in the same "ay ten" and drove off to Chania.
A car rental agreement (in Greece) is a piece of paper on 1 sheet, which indicates the terms of the lease and the cost, and that the car is insured and the phone number to be contacted in case of an accident.
To the question of the topicaster regarding Halkidiki "does a Russian water certificate work or an international one is needed." The answer is yes, it works, and there are no problems with it. I personally affirm this as a car renter and a participant in an accident.
I hope this issue is closed.

Nope, I'm not arguing at all. I think that it is not necessary to assert categorically in this matter. I tried to explain in more detail, that's all. The main thing is to warn, and the person will choose for himself. Well, it cannot be said that you are fully insured without reading the insurance contract, which has not yet been read by the topicmaster himself. There are many insurance options. Also, well, you cannot guarantee the absence of problems without understanding the root of this problem.
And just in case, the IDP is just a gray book with the translation of national rights into 6 languages. In elementary half an hour it turns out in Russia, it costs about 1000 rubles. I see no barriers to not get. Operates together with national rights, and not instead, as many people think.
TK sent a link in a personal message, where more knowledgeable people have already systematized the information, but the choice is up to everyone.

1. He who does not argue does not argue :-) And not with enviable constancy he writes reference information gleaned from search engines.
2. I am describing personal experience in a specific country. No more. Let it be a "categorical statement" as you like :-) I will not argue. I don't really care.
I am flattered by your constant attention to me :-) But I'm afraid I won't be able to reciprocate.

But the funniest thing is that we are both from Kyiv and our rights are not Russian, but TK from Russia)))
Probably, nevertheless, our personal experience will not be useful to him (yes, I also visited Greece and also on a rented car, and read about 5-6 different insurance contracts and previously sent scans of rights to distributors and talked with them about insurance, that’s not the point, two firms still refused to give a car on Ukrainian rights).
We are talking about Russian, they are also different and not all comply with the convention. So this zarub does not make sense, IMHO)))
Your experience is interesting just to me, I have Ukrainian. rights.
And you and I generally don’t get an IDP ;-)
We can relax ;-)

So. A car will be rented according to any document, the rental office doesn’t care what you do with it, maybe you take a car to sleep in it, or you want to put it in front of the hotel for show off. In the event of an accident, in the absence of an IDP, you will be considered a participant in an accident without a driver's license, i.e. You will be the one to blame.
Getting an IDP is easy. Russian waters. certificate, passport, two photos, application, state duty 1000 rubles. They do it in 2 hours practically in front of you, there are no failures. I got it done very quickly. Such an IDP is valid for 3 years.

About Moscow not here. Take it or not, it's up to you. The point is not whether it is dangerous or not, but the fact that abroad in an accident you can get more serious money than in Moscow, that's all. I drive my car to Finland every week, or even twice a week, and so there I drive in a completely different way than at home. Therefore, take a car, see a lot, get complete freedom of movement, and international rights do not cost anything. Have a nice rest!

In Ukraine, there is no way with an IDL, so my husband and I have ordinary national ones, we often take a car, but I read the contract at home, I clarify everything by mail. They always answer and are very competent (not so with hotels). I usually choose small and inexpensive rentals, but I also buy additional insurance and a 0 franchise. You need to take a car, you just need to be aware of the risks and protect yourself as much as possible in simple and inexpensive ways - mvu, sensible insurance ...
