Where can I find an Ashburton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found an Ashburton outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ashburton?
After meticulously planning your big trip, don't scrimp on safety — add collision protection while booking your Ashburton rental vehicle with Expedia. There are loads of advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Ashburton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
