What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cardiff?
After carefuly planning your road trip, don't scrimp on your insurance — choose collision protection while reserving your Cardiff car rental with Expedia.

Can I drive in Cardiff with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
