My father and mother are coming to qatar for 4 weeks holiday.
If my father has an international driving license can he drive my car legally with no problems with the police if there is an accident.

What if someone (a friend or family with valid driving license) drive my car with my acknowledgement then have an accident.

How would the police or insurance company act in this matter ?

Cheers

If your father can drive he can drive your car. The question is if he may drive your car. That depends on the owner. If you want to know if he's allowed to drive the car, the traffic rules apply.

Hi Charlie, first you must edit your Question,you ask can i drive my friends car, later you say your father is coming,yes if your father has International Driving Licence he can drive,but make sure about local traffic rules to avoid heavy fines.

I had my nevew over here for 2 months, first I had mixed answers, than I went to the police, I talked to one of the boss there, he was very kind, he told me that if he stays as a tourist for one month he can drive with international driving licence. Just go to the police ''Al Rayyan'' near the landmark road, driving licence section there's a lady at the informations desk.
