Cats and dogs under the age of 90 days are exempt from a titer analysis for antibodies to rabies. Adult pets must be chipped, vaccinated, and have a quarantine certificate.

What documents are required?

• Passport of the animal. The document is issued by a licensed veterinary clinic after examining the pet. It displays data on the breed, age, vaccinations. Also, the 15-digit identification code of the microchip implanted under the animal's skin is entered into the passport.
• Chipping. The microchip must work according to HDX or FDX-B technology, as well as meet the requirements of international standards ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. It is not necessary to change old-style chips, but you must have a reading device with you.
• Vaccination. After reaching the age of more than 90 days, the animal must be vaccinated. Importing an animal to South Korea will also require comprehensive vaccination against plague, infectious hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvovirus enteritis, etc.
• Rabies virus antibody titer test. You can take a blood test at least 30 days after vaccination, since the vaccination begins to work only after 21 days. Serological research is carried out only in accredited anti-rabies laboratories. The permissible concentration of antibodies in the animal's blood is at least 0.5 IU/ml. With lower indicators, re-vaccination of the pet is required.

Important! Rabies antibody titer analysis is performed at least 30 days and at most 24 months before the trip.

In order not to postpone the trip at the last moment, you should do the rabies titer analysis in advance, approximately 2-3 months before departure.

• Have at least a year of driving experience;
• Have a driver’s license;
• Have a credit card with your name;
• Have a foreign passport.

If apart from you, someone else will drive the rented car, it is necessary to register another driver in order to take advantage of the insurance in case of an accident. An additional driver has the same rights and, with a driver's license, can register at the car rental branch.

Comprehensive car insurance is included in the rental price. The only insurance that is not included in the rental price is car damage insurance. This insurance must be additionally issued when renting a car from an agency. If you take out this insurance, in the event of an accident, you will be able to receive compensation in relation to the damaged car that you were driving. However, you will need to pay the agency a 50% penalty for the time the car is being repaired.
