American in Thailand Experience
I am an American living in Thailand and needed my IDP for a car rental in Japan. I had been planning the trip for months, but didn't look into the car rental requirements until only 2 weeks before the trip. I knew I would need an IDP, but I didn't realize that 1. I had to apply through AAA, 2. There are no AAA offices abroad and I would have to send my application through snail mail, and 3. That it would take 5-7 weeks for my IDP to be sent back to me. Everything online was telling me the only way to apply was directly through AAA and that everything else was a scam. I put my trust in Fast IDP because they recognized that AAA was the only recognized IDP sponsor, and that their service was simply to offer faster IDP processing for Americans living abroad. Sounds good, but the rush fees could have totally been a scam. Yet, here I am a week later with my IDP in hand! Mike and Jamie were accessible and communicated with me the whole way, both by phone and email. They alerted me when my IDP was shipped and monitored it's delivery as well, up until I confirmed I had received it. If you're outside of the US and you need your IDP faster than the 5-7 weeks it will take for AAA to process it, this is the service for you! Thanks for your help.
