What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Avalon?
You'll want to add collision protection while booking your Avalon rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency support, you can rest easy knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. You can opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Avalon with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure 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 for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
