How old do you have to be to rent a car in Arthur's Pass?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Arthur's Pass.

Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent larger or luxury models of cars. Check the terms and conditions before you book so there are no hassles at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Arthur's Pass?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Arthur's Pass?
If you get behind the wheel in Arthur's Pass, you'll have to drive on the left. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.

Where can I find an Arthur's Pass car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little research. Found an Arthur's Pass outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Arthur's Pass?
Add collision damage protection while reserving your Arthur's Pass car rental with Expedia. This protects your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency help, you can get into the driver's seat knowing you're covered for most mishaps. You can opt in to this plan during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Arthur's Pass with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle 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 at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
