Hungary drives on the right-hand side of the road.
Not strictly, but it's recommended. An IDP isn't strictly enforced for short tourist stays, but it's recommended and often requested by rental companies.
In the US, an IDP is issued by AAA or the National Auto Club — it costs around $20, requires a passport photo, and can't be obtained after you've already left the country.
No — an IDP is a translation document, not a standalone license. You must carry your regular US driver's license alongside it at all times.
