Can I drive in Aotea with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
