Question 12

Can I drive near Christchurch (CHC-Christchurch Intl.) with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider 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 identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You 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: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
