Yes, your IDL is valid for 6mons. -> if the authorities are smart, they will verify your rental agreement and that will be the basis of the driving start. For IDL, you are not allowed to drive company or private vehicles, only rentals. Heavy fines will be imposed for the company or persons allowing this.
You can apply for temporary qatar license - TQL (card but red color) until the duration of your Business Visa (BV). When your BV expires, you need to renew the TQL at the same time.
It is a bit costly if you start now. Drive until your IDL 6mos expires then apply.
Hope this help... if any doubt, visit and consult the licensing department in Madinat Khalifa.
