I don't know how many times this question has to be answered. IDL is not a license in itself, it is quite misleading, it is a translation of the license you already have. Seeing as you have a Filipino license, ergo it will not be valid.
dude, I came here on a visit Visa. Screw the car rentals, you think they know anything?
I went to Traffic department and asked.
#1 - Not all international licenses are valid. Only ones from certain countries and they have to come with a booklet that contains a card.
#2 - No matter what your status is, It is allowed to drive on it for 2 weeks from the time you enter the city. After 2 weeks if you get into an accident, it is your fault no matter what. Car rentals don't tell you these things because you are buying their insurance anyways!
#3 - International License means nothing without your original license from back home. When you want to make the Qatar License, you NEED your original license from back home and it has to be recognized so that you don't go through the driving tests in here.
Ask at the car rental and see what they say over the phone,, you have to have RP tahst why my company gave me a driver when i first came here untill i had my RP them we hae the licence, and then i had my own car...
It depends. if you're staying on a visa, it'll serve you for as long as you want to. if you're staying on a RP however, it'll do a truckload of jack :)

why do people answer when they don't know! Oh, it's Doha.
It is only valid for the first 2 weeks of you landing. After this period, you can't use it.
Not sure about the nature of your visa status. All I know is that on a visit Visa, it is only allowed to legally use it for 2 weeks after landing.
who cares???
It is only applicable for 30 days upon arrival to Doha with visit visa and only rent-a-car can be use...
Hope this helps :)
the visa is business visa.
It depends on your visa. If you are on a work visa and has got an RP then you should get a Qatari Driving License.
