In this video, I break down everything from the documents you need at the rental counter to the specific road rules that will save you from getting a speeding ticket. 📌 In this video, we cover: Why you shouldn't drive in Seoul. Required documents (passport, home driver's license, IDP) and credit card rules. Why Google Maps fails and what apps to use instead. Understanding the different types of Korean speed cameras.
